The Company Men

[sptrawler]

If there's one thing I've learned thus far in life is that whatever circumstances exist at present, they WILL change.

That goes for just about everything. Cars, businesses, technology, fashion, relationships. The vast majority will disappear, usually when you are least expecting / wanting it to happen. That applies to everything from airlines to music festivals to big factories to nightclubs to government departments. Sooner or later it either radically transforms or disappears altogether. For every one that survives there are dozens more that don't.

Sometimes the change is foreseeable but often it isn't. Few would have expected 30 years ago that in 2012 Newcastle would not have a steel works and Burnie would not have the Pulp. Even fewer would have foreseen the demise of Ansett or the privatisation of everything from Telecom (now Telstra) to what used to be known as the CES.

If you're earning big $ now as an employee then it's wise to realise that it WILL end, the only questions being when and under what circumstances.

Absolutely!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
