Do you have stability at $bigCo? Yes, they're less likely to close up completely. But how likely are you to get laid off?

In fact, you can think about OKRs as a cargo-cult magic charm to try to keep layoffs from hitting your manager.

As recent tech layoffs showed, job security is an illusion even at big corps. I work in toxic and heavily understaffed group. And guess what, the guy who loudest complained about being understaffed was let go. Problem solved!

Much less likely, and guaranteed to be with some not-unsubstantial severance. Non-RIF layoffs (aka 'firing') comes with months or years of warnings.

Enormously less likely than you are to have a startup or SME shut down.
