I'll agree with you on the Land Line comment. Unfortunately for me my wife thinks it's some sort of requirement that we have a land line. I wonder how many people have that issue.

I don't think I'd ever walk into my boss' office and ask "how can I keep my job?" because I think it shows fear. However, I will admit that quite recently I was chatting with a co-worker and my comment to him was "This might be the only time in my life I'd be happy if they just told me "We can't give you a raise... but we can keep you another year." But then again, I'm not in a Company that has been substantially hurt. If I was working for AIG, Citi, The Hartford, or any other Company facing tremendous downturn... I'd go with the "How can I best assure my future?"

I would also add that at the same time... You should advise your readers if they are working for an AIG, Citi, or Hartford to be aggressively seeking a new job in a solid company. The worst time to seek a new job is when your Company has already laid off people. You have no leverage then, and are competing with a whole slew of people in the same industry, skill level, and geographic location.
