Is the Era of Traditional Emplyment Over

[beechnut79]

The days when companies really cared about their workers is long gone. Rather than treating them as assets to be develop they are usually considered costs to be cut. Now we are constantly told that we need to more than ever be the masters of our own destiny. The philosophy goes something like this: you are starting to accept that willpower is on your side. You are the only one that can redirect your energy. You are the only one that can decide where your focus needs to be. Be wise. Have heart.

This passage does sound like something out of the Smokey the Bear School, doesn't it?
