Comment on In our post-AI era, is job security strictly mythical? Or How to believe in careers as a concept worth doing?

‘Job security’ has been a myth for more than half a century. A career for mostnpeople is nothing more than a job that you’re enmeshed in, and can’t easily leave if you want to.

  I think I’d disagree with this.
  
  For a while, there was a sense among the robber baron class that loyalty to employees would pay off with loyalty returned. Consider industrialists building towns for their employees and families, complete with schools and arenas.
  
  Regardless of how cynical the reasoning may have been, the result was a degree of mutual loyalty and job security.

  I don’t agree. It takes effort and you will need to balance tradeoffs but employment for life with one employer is possible.
