You would probably go into a panic worrying about how you are going to eat, how will your bills get paid, could you get a new job, and many other psychological effects. In this article titled “The End of the Job” from FORTUNE magazine, the topic is such the end of jobs. As the article begins, it states “Predictions read that by year 2000 everyone would work 30 hour weeks and rest would be leisure. But as we approach 2000 it seems like half of us will be working 60 hours weeks and the rest of us will be unemployed.” I believe this is a very true statement because usually one would hear an individual say how he or she had to “pull a twelve” or other things referring to extra hours at their jobs. The cause of this unorthodox method of operation is corporate downsizing. With the increased use of automation (The use of robots) and technology within factories and the “business mind” to lower ones overhead within other industries is a major factor in the cut of jobs. Today organizations tend to function in a matrix structure, which does not focus on one person with specialization in a job but focuses on multiple employees handling a number of different tasks and reporting to many individuals, as described by FORTUNE magazine. “Is this how job opportunities look for a recent college graduates” was the thought in my mind as I struggle to progress forward in my studies. FORTUNE magazine explains “with the demise of jobs that everyone faces comes unfamiliar risks as well as rich opportunities. That statement is true as well. If one is placed into a situation where he or she does not have a job that individual now has the endless opportunity to work just as hard or harder for themselves as they would the “corporation”. This article grasped me because I am in the process of launching an E-commerce website and if I depended on a corporation to lead me into this direction, I would not have progressed as far as I have today.
