Happened to me. Was without a job after 5 years

There is NO EXCUSE for that.

Let me explain. I was with TI for 5 years. Then it took 1 1/2 years to get something else. Lots of that time I was in bankruptcy proceedings and in mental hospitals for depression and eventual epileptic seizures. Finally got something last October, but by the end of this year it was announced Exxonmobil's outsourcing their primary IT center to French Canada.

That's the reality of a *LOT* of people out there now. Millions and millions. And almost everyone in any field is at risk of this, the bell really tolls for you.
