The fact of the matter is there will always be lay offs and just because you have your dream job doesn't make you immune and in a lot of case the same wave that brought you in is the same wave that will bring you out.

I've wanted for a while to create a laided off movie playlist. Of course at the time I wasn't laid off so I didn't have the time and now that I'm laid off I also don't have the time. Nowadays finding a new job is in itself a full-time job.

But off the top of my head I would say that the movies Broadcast News and In Good Company are descent picks.

Older now I look back at how many layoff cycles have been in my life. If you make it through without getting hit, you're a very lucky person, though after my last layoff I chose stability over risk and that was just as terrible as being laid off.
