Until your weasel executive terminates your job along with a thousand others, so the company looks more profitable prior to an IPO (which to my middle-class simpleton mind is indistinguishable from fraud, because the buyers of stock are not expecting to buy an empty shell of a company with compromised operative capabilities)...

Then when the severance begins to run short and you miss a payment of your insurance - just this once - if you get hit by a bus your kids will be left to fend for themselves.

I'm not saying it's unlikely... These things do happen, and we need to be aware of them. We need to be afraid of them, and prepare accordingly. But pretending like they don't exist and "can never happen to me" is like sticking your head in the sand.
