The new tomorrow, today

The work force dramatically changed in the 1990’s and several events altered the landscape of America in a historic fashion. Look no further than when we first found out that in 1993, IBM, the icon of American business and known for loyalty to their workers decided that they would have their first round of layoffs in a half-century. The gasp was audible – no longer could you feel that you were safe and secure in your knowledge that if you wanted, you could work for an organization for as long as you desired. 
 

With a series of recessions in the 1990’s and 2000’s we are left with a world that is radically different than what the baby boomers experienced in the job market of the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s.
 
The American dream has turned into American greed, where the few are gouging the many and sucking up every last drop they can before the next economic fallout. What is the American dream? Good question, I think that riddle is solved by each individual - not by glitzy advertising spots or late night infomercials.
 
Pension plans, matching retirement accounts and stable employment – oh, those days have left us…..Trust in our executives to do the right things for the organization instead of their own pocket book? Hum, pretty difficult to do after this past fallout. 
Pat O’Bryan recently remarked that

“Jobs are so last-century”
“They're the most inefficient way to make a living I can
think of - and they're a horrible way to live.”

The writing is on the wall, the movement has begun, “The Workers” of tomorrow are rising up in the millions and are now changing the landscape of not only the American job force but the World’s.
 
Opportunity – “Absolutely!”
Global – “You bet!”
Life style change – “It’s no longer a dream!”
 
Words like, Creativity, Integrity, Loyalty & Collaboration are the hallmark of the new wave. We are getting back to the fundamentals of doing the right things for the right reasons. The tools and technology are available, and today’s generation is paving the way and electrifying the process of merging social and business concepts.
