Security. Like the security of working for one of the big three auto companies in the 70s. All three still exist, but the UAW has given back much. Or the security of investing as Michael Milken taught us in the 80s. Or the security of working for a dot-com in the 90s. Or the security of being a doctor when the cost of medical malpractice insurance averaged 1/3 of his/her gross income. Or the security of working for "America's Most Innovative Company" aka Enron.
There is no such thing as security. Everything has risks.
And about finding another job and making the same amount right off: unless one is earning minimum wage, it doesn't happen.
