Antiwork

How do you all cope with fearing that your boss at any moment can completely destroy your livelihood?

I'm a little too young to say I'm having a mid-life crisis but the weight of knowing that my insane boss can decide at a moments notice “yeah, I can get cheaper better work elsewhere” is starting to freak me the hell out. Not like I have any savings to fall back on. And my kids aren't going to magically start producing their own food. Just feeling trapped in a vicious cycle of overachievement for no gain whatsoever, and feeling like a slave to a lunatic. Hoping I could get some advice on how others in similar situations manage the stress.
