The point, in theory, of flexicurity is to provide income security without providing job security (because that makes businesses sad, allegedly).

Yes, in theory. But in reality can you have real income security without job security?

I've been lucky that I have been able to ensure career progression and maintain or increase my income with each job move, so far. But, I'm reaching the salary now where it is going to be much harder for me to get jobs at a similar salary level, unless I take any opportunity that comes up even if it means leaving my current job 6 months early.  Which surely would make business sad, if workers go buggering off before contracts are up?

Well, businesses aren't all that good at looking at the long term consequences of the things they call for: most are incapable of looking beyond the first iteration of changes to see the more distant effects on the system.

What a good job I pointed it out, then.
