Tom Peters on Is Your Job Safe

Here is an article I found through FT.com blog in Tom Peter's blog. The blog post is by author Raj Shetty. I do not agree with this approach of questioning yourself, more on that later. But now here is the link to the article and some of the questions

1.   Is your job core to what the company stands for?
2.  What will the company/department lose by eliminating your job?
3.  What is the assessment of your "value" in the eyes of the stakeholders?
4.  Is your job "offshorable?" 
5.  Can you handle office politics well?
