It’s about liars, uh I mean lawyers. Meh! (No I didn’t read the entire article.)
How does the author arrive at this assessment of Tucker?
Every Hollywood movie is a corporation.
You can see who the employees of the corporation are at the end of the movie, in the credits.
Once the movie is made, the corporation goes out of business. It’s employees are almost all unemployed. They go looking to join another corporation.
That’s the model for the future.
Just except it this says. Just except a coming generation that the high point of the day will be finding something that numbs their minds because they don’t have a job to go to because the robot or Juan gets all the jobs
Tucker just realizes how an automated future could carve out more of the middle class
My brother worked for CITI for 29 years. Handled large projects at the VP level...DUMPED at 55. Told him it was coming 2 yrs ago because that’s the way they roll today.
And lots of luck finding another high paying salaryman position after age 50.
One of many reasons I didn’t hang around the big law firm I joined right off of active duty. It’s just me, one of-counsel attorney and three support staff. We generally like our clients, we do very little ligitation anymore, I don’t make a huge amount of money, I can mention Christ prominently on my website and in my office, and I can take my wife to see the grandson pretty much whenever I want. For me, that’s success.
Yeah, he’s done, whether he knows it or not.
Like all seemingly inevitable trends it will not survive First Contact with a political backlash.
Let's say Company A has decided to revamp its web portal. Instead of turning to in-house IT or contracting with a firm that specializes in web design, it parcels the work out in "chunks" and invites professionals sitting at home to submit their ideas on how to improve the layout of that particular piece of the web portal. In that manner, you may have several hundred people doing short-term work from home to complete the project.
A project that would take months might only now take days or even hours.
There are many other examples where crowd-sourcing can be done from a pool of skilled labor. These people don't get benefits, paid vacation, etc., and they are perfectly fine with that as they only work when they want to and from their own homes. Sort of like along the Uber model. You can work as much as you want but you can also always turn the app off and go do something else.
It could have been worse. Not only did I get to help hire my replacement, I got a few veiled threats about my severance package if I didn’t also train the guy.
And, except for maybe a couple nibbles shortly after leaving that job, I heard nothing but crickets in response to my numerous job applications. I finally gave up looking after about a year.
Just finished some training for some gig work I’m doing now, and they talked about age discrimination and all the phoney baloney laws enacted to make it illegal. Luckily for them the training was online, so they didn’t have to listen to me throwing the BS flag on that stuff!
Except for Federal Gov employees, there has never been a job guarantee.
Tucker and the rest at Faux News have no idea about technology.
When they want to know something...they talk to a Senator.
The GOP can barely spell “Technology” even with a spell checker.
You want to know how to spend someone else’s money...call a Senator.
When you want to know how to fix something or how it works...call an Engineer.
KW has is a out and out neverTrumper. He has routinely called Trump voters trash and does not care about outsourcing their jobs to foreign countries. Tucker understands that people in flyover country are people too; KW has elite contempt for them.
They are not thinking to themselves, "I wonder what kind of apartment I'll have in Abu Dhabi." They are thinking, "How am I going to pay the mortgage?"
Only the older ones are thinking about the mortgage. The younger ones have figured out that there is an inherent incompatibility between a 30-year mortgage (or even a FIVE-year mortgage) and a career with 10+ different employers before you reach the age of 40.
Yep...that’s why I’m consulting these days. And getting paid better then when I was “in charge” with only 1/4 the drama and very little heartburn.
I’ve done pretty well I guess as I only have 8 employers on my list at a few over 50.
I worked for 17 companies {not counting the ones that I owned} starting in 1966. Prior to that I was in the Army, college and worked at bars and hotels.
I was always a commission salesman, and made decisions based on commission rates and the market at the time.
I didn't always pick winners and got fired several times, but I never worried about getting a job, because during those times, in the computer business, it was wide open.
Today, with different rules, I'm pretty sure, I'd have to run my own company, because I'd be getting whacked every week in the corporate world.
