I've spent a lot of time posting in a tech help group for the last 4 years or so. I'm one of the more prolific posters there. I know that when I leave, a few people will wonder "where did khed1 go? for a bit. Then it won't matter.
I worked at my current employer for 7 years, then was laid off 2 days before my son was born. I spent a few months of my severance package as paternity leave, then started looking again. I took a position back at the same employer, but in a different group. 2 months later, 2/3 of the office was laid off. The work doesn't care about you. The company doesn't care about you. It's a job. Do the work. Keep up with new developments; you'll need the knowledge when you need to find a new job.
