Got laid off briefly in February 2008 when the company pulled out of the area, and two months prior to that had a 26% reduction in salary.    Was quickly hired by the non-profit that moved in shortly after the other company pulled out.   Funding is very precarious and falling so I don't believe I have job security. I work pretty hard at not stressing about it. It is what it is, and we won't starve, whatever happens.
