Significant trends in the news...
Recently I've read:
(1) the number of terminations of CEO's was up 12% in 2006 over 2005;
(2) the annoucement of the first election to law firm partnership of a flex-timer;
(3) various on-line job boards are specifically targeting the older worker.
These reports are consistent with my understanding of the evolving workplace: shorter work tenures (often project oriented), and the expansion of specialized opportunities (not expanding quickly enough for some). In short, more holes available for an increased variety of pegs.
It's more than just a good thing for those of us who prefer customization and variety. It's actually a foundation for the happy production of wealth for both employer and employed.
This synergistic phenomenon is dramatically substantiated by another stunning and under-covered report . . ..
