Indeed, risk is everywhere and we really can't assume the secureness of our job and any business around.
All the work that we do must have a risk, because currently there is no job that does not contain risks. The worker's job is to minimize, not avoid, this is something that is difficult for people to do, because there are no targets and timeframes for work.
Good decision making for sure will allow you to survive, with good judegment you'll be picking the right one that's fits to your needs.
Life must have a target that must be achieved, because we will not always work with other parties, moreover there is no guarantee of survival when the prospects for the work we do do not develop.
That's reality which we cannot deny, even how hard you do the chance of being lay off can happen to you.
This is a certainty, whether we experience layoffs or retirement, then what targets should we achieve after this happens, we must set standards at work and must have options when things that are not desirable happen.
