If your job no longer exists - if, for example, you were hired to be a
Unix admin but they foolishly switched to Windows later - then they may
get rid of you.  If your job changes - if in that example you became a
Windows admin - then they would *not* be able to get rid of you simply
because your original job disappeared.  They would, however, be able to
get rid of you if the company later needed fewer Windows admins.

  The test of the goodness of a thing is its fitness for use.  If it
  fails on this first test, no amount of ornamentation or finish will
  make it any better, it will only make it more expensive and foolish.
