The concept of the job is fading from the working landscape, says William Bridges, author of "Job Shift: How to Prosper in a Workplace Without Jobs".
"What is going on today is not just the disappearance of some number of jobs, or jobs in particular industries. What is disappearing is 'the job' itself," according to Bridges. In the future, workers will possess a variety of skills and responsibilities, rather than being confined to the parameters of a traditional job description.
Bridges believes that the workplace is moving toward "micro-businesses," where people will work for a number of different companies. The placement of workers will depend on what particular skills are needed for a project. Intel, Microsoft, Motorola, and IDEO Product Development are already assigning workers this way.
The transition to the new work system will not be easy, warns Bridges. "It took people several generations to learn, gropingly and painfully, how to base their lives on their jobs. We're going to have much less time to learn to live without them."
