Pensions and security?

Senior executives are negotiating clauses into their employment contracts that protect their financial position against pension changes

In my father’s generation it was a given that if you work hard that you had something to look forward to at the end of it. Increasingly, we’re seeing stories on television of employees who’ve spent years with an employer and then lost everything through no fault of their own.

Personally, I’d never put all my eggs in one basket. Today’s climate is just too uncertain. I’m keeping all my skills up to date so that I can be flexible as possible. If I need to work longer than I’d expected I’d at least like to enjoy what I’m doing.
