Recent Surveys: 1) Do you wish that people you are with talked about more serious/important/deep things? 2) Why do you flirt? 3) Do people sometimes assume you're being sarcastic when you were actually being sincere?

I think it moves us toward a world in which workers are more or less autonomous and that seems like a good thing. Sure, it's a little scary too. But, I think the safety we might feel working at a big company is an illusion. I also think big companies are prone to inefficiencies. Contract work seems to simplify and make clear the relationship a worker has with their employer. I think it promotes a kind of personal responsibility too. I'm sure I'm being naive about this on some level too, though.
I don't have anything against stuff like customer support being out-sourced to India. I think globalization of companies and work is a very positive thing. India's growing middle class is a great thing for that country and that's good for us too. The thing that will prevent war in the future is international commerce. The more global business relationships we have, the more impossible it will be to see people in other countries as the enemy. We may be on the brink of a golden age of international commerce in which most of the world benefits greatly from increased wealth and standard of living along with less war and famine. I have a dream. |
