ADAPT...if you are not learning something new (a new skill, new knowledge, new way to do something or a new product to sell, produce or whatever), then you will be run over. The only people that survive to any degree are the ones that stay ahead of the crashing wave or ride it. I have changed industries several times in my working career. I constantly learn new technical skills (computer, online marketing, etc). I never EVER can stop moving to the next thing...if I do X then I am planning Y already.

You have to make your own things happen. I work for Charles Jones INC...I might happen to be paid by X corp while I am in my "tour of duty" with them. Know the rules of the game where you can play...you are a number to all of them, so your loyalty should be the same...if the opportunity cost to stay on is more than it is to move on, then move on. Maximize the time you have here on this Earth. This is not personal, it's business....don't they tell you that? Well it goes both ways.

Up your skills, learn something new every day and implement it. Your knowledge of your chosen field should be VAST and BROAD....you don't have to know everything, just some about everything...let the other guys specialize and use their talent. This should tell you that you have to lead, not follow.
Road map to survival. Maybe even success.
