How bad is it when you walk into a meeting and casually say, "Well, I wonder who's getting fired?" and then the guy in charge of the meeting smiles and says, "Don't say that. . . " Ten minutes later there's been an 'organizational change' and your company has one less employee.

Like Wally from Dilbert says, "I need to become irreplacable so I can't be fired for my behavior." Now those are words to live by.
