5yrs ago I got laid off on my birthday with 10% of the company.  My boss even knew for a month and didnt tip his hand one bit. Totally blind-sided, got 1month of severance, thats it. Had a 2 and 5yr old and my wife was a stay at home mom. My coworker even brought in a cake for the break room. They laid off another lady who celebrated 25yrs of work the week prior, even threw her a celebration knowing she was getting shit canned 4 days later. She was also blind-sided. That experience taught me to always be hunting for better jobs. Toally happy at your job? Doesnt matter, keep your LinkedIn profile dialed in, your CV/resume updated quarterly, apply and interview even if you have no intention of leaving your job (its also great practice). Those connections you make with different companies, HR, others....you can always circle around 6months later when shit hits the fan. They very much might create a vacancy for you on the spot based on your interview.

Agreed. I had an interview last year when a recruiter pressed me for a position, even though I was fine with my current job and knew the offered one probably wouldn't work out anyway (location, etc.). Good practice anyway, considering it was my first "interview" in years!
