You say this as if I've never been laid off before. I have, because of acquisitions and even poor performance after the loss of a family member.
My point is this: it's going to happen anyway. I refuse to over-extend [any more] to stave the inevitable. I'm in a good spot because I have a solid network (contacts/skills) and reasonable savings.
I'm sure the employer would be mad to know I'm posting right now, I don't care. Their fault for allowing me to automate!
