The other side, the employee working for a large company can feel safe knowing that he is working for the largest companies in the world. "If this company fails, all will fail," they might think. "This is a lifetime job." But sometimes we cannot rationally understand the level of security, because it is not measured on a rational scale but by emotion.
Do people who are unemployed in the US feel less secure than their European counterparts, who have a more sophisticated social security system? Or do they feel safer knowing that their destiny is in their hands and not in the hand of an abstract institution?
Those who have worked for Lehman Brothers may have seen the top of the world, but how about their feelings towards safety now? Did they calculate the risk and were they prepared for this to happen?
