DO YOU HAVE THE SECOND BEST PLAN ?

If you think you are very safe in your current employment, think twice - and get prepared for the life after you miss the job you have today. You may have a very good job, you get paid a handsome salary, holding a respectable position but what matters the most is how is your life independent of your current job.

What if you lose the job today ? What if things don't go right in your business today ? Are you having the second best plan ?

This is what we need to ask ourselves and make serious plan for our lives. Do we have respect for others  or the title we have like Manager, Officer , etc make us think we are from another planet ?

You get to learn alot about that when you watch the movie - THE COMPANY MEN.

This is the synopsis of the movies The Company Men - Courtesy of wikipedia.

The film, set in and around Boston, Massachusetts, analyzes the effects of corporate downsizing. Ben Affleck plays an aggressive white-collar corporate ladder climbing employee who, after losing his six-figure salary, gradually loses the trappings of his white-collar life (country club membership, Porsche, and finally his home) and ultimately has to take a job installing drywall with his blue-collar brother-in-law, played by Kevin Costner. Chris Cooper plays a middle manager who has risen from the factory floors to the corporate offices. He also loses his six-figure salary job, but because of his age is finding himself unemployable. The pressures on the two men (both of whom had comfortable, but working poor lifestyles, and have children to support) grow as weeks and months pass by with no prospects of employment. On the other side of the coin, the cushy lives of executive management are shown with bothTommy Lee Jones and Craig T. Nelson playing characters who suffer no misfortune during the trying times, until Jones' character is served his walking papers. Maria Bello plays the senior HR manager who delivers the bad news to staff whose jobs are cut. Jones is clearly in a much more comfortable position after being fired, and begins seemingly a form of retirement, seeking no other employment. Yet the effect of the downsizing upon others, along with own values favoring hard work, weigh on his conscience.
