      I am afraid of the day i lose my job because I really have no idea how I'll get another job... I've been with the same place for 20 years now, and yes, every single person, including my boss, has said this is actually bad and doesn't look good, which i think is sad. Still, the hiring process from 20 years ago was wayyy different from today. Multiple interviews with multiple groups of people? Sounds awful...

      I worked my ass off at this place for the past 15ish years. I've seen it all from when I started it was a quick rising company that couldn't keep up with its own growth. Took over multiple companies and absorbed them or became partners. Then we were sold off. We then saw layoffs and huge changes. We saw our biggest partner separate from us. Then there were the huge ideas that didn't work out and basically put us in the poor house. Now its let's run the tightest ship we can and consolidate everything. Also, sell off most parts of the company to our competitors... so 1 place, and I've seen and dealt with basically everything the corporate world has to offer! Waiting for the day we are completely sold off, and I know we all lose our jobs at that point. Its sad because the last few years have been the quietest and easiest years of work which has helped me a lot to spend more time on personal life and family which im afraid to lose if I do need a new job.

      It's easier to find a new job while you already have one

            I gave up on my IT career a few years ago and became a school bus driver. The job application process was refreshingly old-school. I actually faxed my resume! And for the first time in my entire life somebody actually called my references.

                Pretty much what happened to me. 10 years at the same company, saw it grow from small, chaotic business to full corpo, rebrand, merge, split... I got fired this year in yet another in a series of layoff. After one month of searching I did an old style interview with one company (1h java interview, that's it) and got hired. So far I really like it. So... either I got really lucky or it's not as bad as people claim.
