Job security is nice, but in my experience, there are too many truly productive things that don't get done because so much effort goes into supporting junk systems.
I'm much more valuable to my company when we are actually swimming toward a goal as opposed to struggling to tread water. Ultimately it's my value to the company that determines how secure my job is.

If most people are not willing to see the difficulty, this is mainly because, consciously or unconsciously, they assume that it will be they who will settle these questions for the others, and because they are convinced of their own capacity to do this. -Friedrich August von Hayek
