How Secure Am I
How Secure Am I?
From Career Tips, 2004 Volume 10, October 2004
In August, I reported on 2 recent polls that suggested at least 70% of us are not in our "dream jobs", and our own poll gave similar results.
In September, we asked "How secure do you feel at your current employer?", with these results:
- 22%: My employer would never be foolish enough to let me go!
- 39%: Pretty secure
- 22%: There's a 50/50 chance something will happen in the next year
- 6%: I'm pretty sure I'm in trouble
- 11%: I've been given my notice, or am out of work now!
I'm glad to hear that 61% of you are feeling pretty secure. For the rest of you, what's holding you back from at least exploring how you might change things?
