And ChuckFickens,
What about, 2days, to 20 years, to never. Or worse yet, you bust your hump for 30 years and suddenly a younster fresh from college with an obscure degree in something like 'man magement and modern analysis' is assigned to your department. You are told to teach him the business..six month later, half of your work is given to him............six months later, you don't have a full time job, because, "We thought you would appreciate only working a few hours a week." Then you realise, everything is being routed via the new kid.
But, your not redundant or fired, just in limbo until you can't stand the constant search for a gainful task, and quit, drastically reducing overheads
And that's the real world of modern business
