  1. You need dirt... on Ask Slashdot: How Do I Stay Employable? · · Score: 0

At your next appraisal, casually drop a few key words into the conversation to let them know what you have. "I hope you like my submission. As a team leader, I am a strict disciplinarian and can work to a punishing schedule. I know all about stocks and bonds.", etc. Job for life...
