It really depends on how close you are to the decision maker or leadership. If you are not close enough, you are just another cog in the machine waiting to be replaced irrespective of the function

The correct answer

replace decision-maker/leadership with owner

not a single one of top tier bankers at lehmann went to jail

some of them might have got a bonus and returned to doing even more shadier stuff

I Feel finance roles, because the folks will be very less and I have not seen any layoffs in my experience.
