Changes

Someone suggested that I could plan to stay at my next post till my retirement. I advised her that while there is such a possibility, we must not be so sure that things would remain status-quo for the next 2 years. In my working life, I had seen many changes - particularly removal of job posts because they were deemed obsolete, or because of the need to downsize, job enlargement and job enrichment, saving, leverage on technology, outsourcing etc etc. We cannot be too complacent, but have to be mentally prepared to face the changes as they come.
