You do not actually worry about the — I suppose the — job security. You perceive that comes with the territory. And you actually perceive that whenever you join on this occupation or this position.
“This is — it goes with it. And I understand the disappointment of not reaching our ultimate goal — here, probably more than anywhere else, where that is the expectation — but at the same time, I wouldn’t want it any other way because it matters here and you want to be part of something and doing something that matters to a lot of people.”
