Where is your job going?
As I said in 2004 in my article “Your job will go too, but you can do something about it”, your job is leaving, and it is not necessarily taking you with it. So where is your job going?
- Robots and automated systems (e.g. tel systems)
- Illegal immigrants
- Abroad, through offshore outsourcing
Pay attention to the words of the manage in the video:
- productivity is twice what it is in the traditional part of the factory, safety is better, and “we think our inventory accuracy is 100%”
- the workers is always on task. They’re really never without something to do
- the operators compete to see who can work with (the robots)
- 50% reduction in labour
- defect rate 0%
- training takes half a day, compared to 4 days training needed in the traditional part of the building
- “enormous” energy savings (light, heating can be turned off)

It’s Not Your Imagination. It Really IS Much Harder to Get Hired During A Recession.
I used to be an executive recruiter and I can tell you: the worse a recession is, the more demanding the prospective employers become. I remember trying to fill high-level software sales positions after the dot com collapse for hiring managers who didn’t want “any of those dot com people.” (Apparently they showed too great an affinity for risk-taking.) And yet, all the experienced candidates worked for them, so they ended up hiring people who didn’t know what they were doing.
Incentives, Disincentives and Spoiled Brat Syndrome
charles hugh smith-Incentives, Disincentives and Spoiled Brat Syndrome
One of my carpentry masters was an African-American gent from New Orleans. Back in the early 1970s when I first began working for him and his partner (a Caucasian gent), he told me that how he’d found work in tough times was to approach the foreman of a construction project, point to a worker on the site and say that he could do more work than that guy.The foreman would give him a once-over and put him to work. The next day, the other guy would be gone and my boss would have his job.
That’s called getting and holding a job based on output and nothing else.
