No sir, it hasn't. I have and will take continued steps to be nimble enough to not choose such a career path (I'm currently in sales; was previously in management).

If it should happen one day, Good Lord willing, I will simply find something else. Or, like I am doing now, continue training/education so that I get more tools in my toolbox.

No one owes me a living, but I owe my young family my most earnest efforts to provide them with one.

You and I are in complete agreement about how one should respond in that event.

OTOH, the idea that you might lose your job because some Chinese or Bangladeshi is cheaper ... that's where one can plausibly apply the "faceless capitalism" label: to the company it's not personal, it's just business. Of course, to you it's utterly personal.

The economic arguments in such cases are all very well and good; however, the difference between "nothing personal" on one side, and "of course it's personal" on the other, cannot help but cause friction.

A trnansient society in the making.

It is nice that YOU are nimble. What is has to do with the topic?
