Corporation games job playes never worry, they just continue just another day in paradise world.

Too many scam jobs in corporation games, eating up the global pie. Global pie makers enough in corporation games players world. Some players just want to grab economic media headlines .

The world is build by economic corporaton games and change of corporation names by corporation game players.

Just another day counting the money for all players. Some win and some don't. Winner takes it all and looking for more superfools.

Guess whose corporation game name is high up in the media headlines. Just get another job under another corporation games player. Worry is waste of energy.

Corporations games player doing their dance of change in jobs market.

We can rebuild from ashes of destructions and a write new pages.

Nothing better than getting sacked at Christmas time.

Better get your blue-tarps and a spot in the park reserved soon.

When people are fighting for McJobs --> You know it's getting bad.

I hope I'm not fighting the homeless for a scrap can or leftover bento soon.

All you people voting no, please tell me what line of work you are in. I guess doctors, nurses, police, firemen and the military have the most job security.

smartacus ^- You left out civil servants/city office workers - they can't get fired/laid off unless they murder someone.

theres an old saying that the two safest jobs are 'bakers and undertakers' - people always want bread and people are always dying. But I guess bakers aren't safe in Japan, they don't even have real bread here....

One of my jobs could be at risk due the shriveling automotive industry, the company I am subcontracted to is a parts makers and their orders are drying up fast, they just let 100+ temps go in the past month. Still thats the only a minor part time job.

I find it very ironic that last year when all the Nova teachers were let go, some of the smarmy Tokyoites in the finance/banking were smugly reminding the Nova bottom feeders how well off they were in the corporate world...

And I'm doing even better now than I was then. What's your point? We in finance are RICH. English teachers make about 1,000 pounds a month - my daily pay. Again, what's your point?
