Job Security Anxiety Gauge
Is your fear of redundancy a rational signal or disproportionate anxiety? Check your actual risk against what you're feeling.
What this means
This instrument starts blank so it does not judge a made-up example before you have entered your own situation.
Formula used
Actual risk score combines company health (40%), performance signals (35%), and AI disruption exposure (25%), adjusted for tenure. Compared against felt anxiety to identify the gap.
Worked example
A solid performer at a stable company with moderate AI exposure scores a risk of ~25/100. If they rate their anxiety at 8/10, the gap is significant — the worry is outrunning the evidence.
Common questions
What's the difference between this and the Should I Quit calculator?
Should I Quit helps you decide whether to leave. This tool asks whether the background anxiety you're carrying is proportionate to the actual signals — a different question.
Why does tenure reduce the risk score?
Longer tenure provides some protection in most organisations through institutional knowledge, relationships, and redundancy cost. It's a buffer, not a guarantee.
