The Collapse of The Traditional Career. The modern career as we know it is officially over. Gone are the days where you can update your resume and walk it into a personnel department in your local factory and have a job for 40 years, land a sweet pension and retire to Florida. With the rise in layoffs and the reduction in pensions and 401k benefits, employees are on their own like never before. Let's explain why.

My honest suggestion to all who are struggling now: 1. Don't go into debt unless you know you can repay it, and this is absolutely necessary. 2. Educate yourself on whatever topic you believe is valuable for you. 3. Invest in whatever you believe is good for you so you can constantly earn extra $$$. Even if it's $100 a month, it's better than nothing. 4. Get a job you can tolerate, even if this is not your dream job or desired career. Repeat steps 2 and 3 always. 5. Constantly look for a new opportunity. If they don't care about you - don't care about them. 6. Look after yourself. Your health, both physical and mental, is the most important. Spend time with loved ones and do what you like.

The traditional career is definitely over. Both of my parents were born in 1945 and graduated high school in 1963. My dad got a job right out of high school at Motorola working on circuit board stuff. My mom, her sister, and a friend of theirs got a job at Argonne National Laboratory. My mom's sister and friend got secret security clearance and my mom got top secret clearance. There is no way any of this would happen to us today. We would be lucky to get jobs at Lowes or Home Depot right out of high school.

I think you think about this the wrong way. Why would you "limit" yourself to be paid just to beat inflation? You should be able to visualize a path inside your current org. or build yourself to be able to land a job elsewhere that pays significantly more. The yardstick is not beating inflation, it is getting paid at least the market average for your position/experience. If you are unwilling to evolve, then you don't deserve more pay. If your company will not pay market value, then you leave.

Hey man. GenX at 51 here from the Philippines. I just got recently laid off (again) last Sept 2023. I had this analyst job for about 3 years. The job was pretty easy but I guess all good things end. Since 2001, I have had laid back jobs. I have been in and out of jobs from '95 to 2001. I have had enough of Manila and move out summer of '01. I now live in another city south of it where the cost of living is much lower. I have saved some and lose some(stock market, women). I am living at the moment using my savings and is very frugal. I also have a part time job on the side that really does not take much of my time. It pays little but it helps. Although I can still afford to survive, I am planning to move back to our old house in Manila if nothing comes up in the next couple of months. I don't really see myself retiring.

I respect the idea of "be your own CEO of your own career," but my gut also perceives a big problem with it at the same time. Not everyone is cut out to be an entrepreneur. Not everyone is cut out to be a salesperson pitching themselves like a slick production 24-7-365. Not everyone is an extrovert. Not everyone is an executive. Our society needs to think harder about decent (non-impoverished) "careers" (i.e., series of jobs) for the substantial proportion of the population that is not a huckster, not a trickster, not a full-time self-marketing machine, not a BS spinner, not an influencer. For example, maybe instead of overworking and underpaying nurses to death, we need instead to commit to training more nurses (without mountains of student loan debt) and only giving half the workload per nurse, with actual PTO days as well. Everyone's OBSESSED with low taxes, but maybe it takes some taxes to make this happen. Anyone who thinks this is crazy, what SPECIFIC WORKABLE alternative are you proposing other than "we all hustle ourselves to death and race one another to the bottom"?

Never considered a 'career' as anything I would ever have. A 'career' was for the lucky kids who had parents who paid for college educations. The rest of us took whatever kind of work we could get and endured an unbelievable amount of abuse from our first few employers - so this is nothing new. I lived for years a few paychecks from eviction, in constant fear. It wasn't until I put myself through college and got a Bachelor's degree in my late 30s, that my income rose enough to be able to relax a little, buy a house that nobody wanted and started saving. No wife, no children, very few possessions. I have enough in savings to survive for 5 years without work if I have to now. Being prepared for being laid off has been my focus for years.

Finally, a recruiter speaking the truth! Thank you for pointing out the hypocrisy in companies criticizing candidates for moving around while having high turnovers in their staff. The last company I worked for, I was working for the CEO as temp for hire, long hours, performing above and beyond. This person expressed concern for what they considered not having enough longevity (5-10 yrs at one company); my overall experience in that position was 10+ years. I was the 3rd person filling this position in the CEO’s 3rd year at the org and HR had lost about 6 people during the time I was temping. I was way overqualified for the position. When I referenced the fact that they had turnovers but were questioning me about my loyalty, even though I was showing up every day, first one to arrive and last one to leave, they said they had legitimate reasons for those turnovers. They did end up hiring me but their process felt very tone deaf and dehumanizing.

I have experienced several plant closings. Also, I have experienced layoffs and unwarranted terminations. I have been fortunate to have worked to 66. I have been out of work since the end of last year. Companies dont want to hire an older employee. In the last few years, I have had to work contract jobs. I am very fortunate that I can retire now. I think the younger generations looking for work have it really tough. Corporate greed is off the charts. Today, no employee should be loyal to any corporation. You need to focus on your skills and work with the attitude my job can end any day. Also, I believe that there are a lot of ghost jobs.

The "average" number of jobs is 12, I'm already on 15 and while I hope it's the last, it's a contract...so who knows. I am loyal to knowing my job and loyal to myself. That "40 year" mark for me? It's next year, 2025. Will I retire? Sure, at some point. But I love my job and where I work, so unless something better that is solid comes along, I'll stay....if they ask me to leave...I'll find something new. Even if that means retraining to do it. Old dogs CAN and DO learn new tricks. So for those reading, be loyal to yourself and your knowledge. Remind any employer/prospect that you can easily learn new things and your resume should reflect that. Be confident and when someone says "you're too old, too qualified, too costly", let them know that things have a price, but it's always negotiable.

Endless corporate greed is responsible for this. Loyalty as a concept was dead 20 years ago, if not more, as people became essentially expandable. The programmers had it better for the ensuing 20 years money-wise, they could easily work several contractor job at once and make 2-3 times more than an average worker without worrying about being loyal to anything - there was always another company which needed coding expertise. AI is going to correct for that - essentially leveling the playing field (not permanently though). The entire workforce will feel the pain now pretty much equally, and the only winners will predictably be the corporations. Only when the people wake up and realize that this is not normal and the cards are stacked against them will we see any meaningful change. Unionize and demand better. People are not expandable and greed needs to be curtailed.

There's no loyalty either direction Employer to employee and vice versa. Sad but true. Save, and don't go into debt if you can help it.

The continual and uncontrolled merging of corporations seems to further exasperate this issue as well. There is less and less competition for labor and the top employers can set salaries for positions and most have no choice but to accept it. There needs to be a return to Teddy Roosevelt style trust busting.

The loss of unions was a devastating blow to employees. I was fortunate to be employed in a union shop for 36 years. Retired at 70 from a job I loved with an excellent inflation protected pension, a 4O3b retirement account which my employer matched at 8% and paid health care benefits. I would never work at a non-union job. If where you work now doesn’t have a union, start one. A strong union levels the playing field.

Companies have been distancing themselves from Employees, in all aspects. It was the companies that struck first by severing loyalty bonuses and pensions. An employee who is treated well will work loyally for the company. With companies simply not bothering, WHO CAN be loyal and hardworking? Top Performers of this Quarter are fired the next. There's no chance to experiment or find out what the employee is good at. A fresher is supposed to be more efficient and have better output than an employee with ten years of experience. Secondly, laying off has less and less to do with the actual performance of the Employee. It is now OK for companies to simply fire hundreds of their employees with little to no shame or guilt. Honest, devoted, hardworking, and ethical employees are being laid off. How will the companies generate Trust and Loyalty? And HOW will they get good service, profits, and performance if they are SO brutal?

You put it best "distancing themselves from Employees". This practice has slowly happened over the past decades. It could be from international labor, the disruptivness of social media and corporate whistleblowing, and the death of pensions etc....

Up until recently I would agree with you about this but there are rare exceptions. I started working for an ESOP company (employee owned company) and it has been amazing. I won't bore you with the details of it all but what it boils down to is the company treats us well and is very loyal to us. They also 100% do not hire managers from the outside, everyone including the CEO was a field tech at some point (also being a company that only the employees hold stock we can effectively fire him). There are also a lot of laws with ESOPs and all benefits must be available to all employees at the same conditions (so the new guy day 1 has the same benefits options as the CEO). However I recognize how rare these types of companies are.

The HS/GED diploma is offially worthless. You now need tradeschool or at bare minimum an associates for some entry level jobs. Even Commercial Class A driving jobs seems to be paying lower here in LA-Metro areas. It doesn't make financial sense to hire class A/B and pay under 26 when flipping burgers will be at 20. Cost of living is skyrocketing and a #1 anywhere sets you back 20 bucks. Not sure how we have not entered a serious correction yet but it seems as the bubble gets bigger the louder the bang awaits.

I went through 11 jobs in just over 40 years of employment. Sorry to say, but this cycle was well established when I got my first job. Worked there 6 month after graduating from college, got promoted to a supervisory position, then three months later the 100 of us that worked there got laid off without any advanced warning ('notice' wasn't required back then) and the operation was moved from California to Georgia (IIRC). Three other layoffs/shutdowns I saw coming and escaped in time, one other I got laid-off from in a corporate bankruptcy. It just proves the only one who has your best interest in mind is you.
