New Year’s Thoughts from a Silicon Valley HeadHunter
January 06, 2012 by Deb McClanahan
Josh Helman of Fistful of Talent (one of my favorite blogs I don’t write) posted an interesting look back at the workplace over our working lives:  http://www.fistfuloftalent.com/2010/01/were-not-in-kansas-anymore---what-recruiting-will-look-like-in-25-years.html

Think about how much has changed in your workplace – 

Some of the things I come up with:
  • WiFi, Broadband, and other tools of ubiquity – we are expected to be “always on”- that's a big change. Weekends used to be that – the end of the week, and two full days off. That’s the exception today, not the rule.
  • Printed daily newspaper – most of us get our news through email or internet search of some kind, and it’s delivered to us in the form we want instead of the way the media wants it.
  • Multiline phones, headsets, Skype, 3G and 4G phones – there is a tremendous change in the phones we use, aside from the tools of ubiquity above. The fact that many people no longer have a landline is shocking, although many of us did away with them just to get rid of the telemarketing calls at dinnertime :^)
What are the changes you see in your workplace over the big look back? Let me know. All your comments will be posted.
