Very true. My ex- was nervous about accepting a vet tech position for about a year before she started vet school. She was nervous because they "required"/"only wanted" someone who "was going to be there long term". I asked her: "They want you to make commitments to them that you will be there for a long term. Are they willing to make the same commitment to you? Or are you out the door the moment you are unneeded?" "Business is tough. But here at BlahCo, like we told you, we're a family. So like we required from you, we're keeping you on and paying you!" - hah, no. At least not the very very vast majority of the time, more like "Come in, close the door, have a seat".
