If there's any case where having a job makes you a loser it's having a job and not even knowing what your company does. I was first hired 2 years ago as a temporary at my current job and I didn't know what my work was going towards. After that I was naturally laid off, per se. A year later that same position opened up again and I was back on the force where I still didn't know what I was doing... and that continued for about 8 or so more months until my company's purpose was so blatently obvious that I had no choice but to understand. And that might not even be loserish, more so just dumb. I dunno, I know what I'm doing now, so yay for me.
