I am all for being loyal to a company. However, I also think that the fact is.... I have watched "layoffs" at two big tech giants (only one was called that) and watched what happened to the people who left and the people who stayed. In general I have found that despite the uncertainty it is actually a good thing, on average, to be laid off. Earning power seems to go up, and people move into more challenging jobs. THose who remain tend to be part of a more ossified corporation and with less mobility.
