The Collapse of The Traditional Career.

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.

Have you heard about the unemployment applications surging recently? It's becoming a real concern.

[chadmorris]

I've just decided that my best route is making sure I have zero debt. Keeping myself prepared so when I get a call that i am no longer employed I can survive on all those warehouse associate job openings that are everywhere. Guess this is the new reality. Seems like the system is rigged against us.

[raymond_sycamore]

I do not understand why people still think their job is their complete identity? It's not. It's a paycheck, that's it.

[GoryNych-ruop]

The traditional path can be exhausting. Health issues unexpectedly forced me out of work with barely enough savings to even consider retirement. That moment was one of the scariest I never saw coming. But I’ve managed to earn $5m, despite starting late and missing out on compounding returns from index funds

[dougc]

Companies and employers see employees as a liability, nothing more. There is no respect, no loyalty, no civility. No employee should ever look at an employer as anything but a short term paycheck. Employers have made that a certainty.

[mariahsmom]

We have a new boss coming. In her interview, she said that work "is family" and that working overtime doesnt mean getting paid for it, it means getting a better annual review. My job search has begun...

[george]

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.

Moving retirement back to 70+? How is that going to work when companies today think you're too old to be hired (especially into an entry-level position) at 40?

[theredneckalien]

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.

[petermangano]

It was so clear to me in the last century that the whole career thing was a scam, I laboured, waited tables, lived below my means and continuously started small businesses while acquiring real estate. I was and am still shunned and ostracized for not chasing status, and I retired at 35, 9 years ago. I broke all those stupid made up rules and people are bitter towards me for doing so.

[turkyturky]

This whole system is toast. I think we're on the verge of a collapse never witnessed before in human history.

[MrCalicious]

I have never stayed at a company longer than two years because I have never worked for a company that gives an annual raise that beats inflation. When I was hired we agreed on a value for my labor. The cost for that value went up with inflation, and if a company doesn't want to pay me for that value I'm happy to find another company that will.

[erichjung]

Relying on an employer for your long term financial goal today, is making a deal with the devil .

[cptcosmo]

I'm 57, just laid off in Jan from the company I was expecting to retire with. Now no one will even interview me though they are desperate for people? WFT???

[rougeur]

The economy is putting many families in difficult situations. A lot of people are financially struggling to live, put a roof over their head and put food on the table. Things are getting worse these days, if you don't find means of multiplying your money you might wake up a day to realise you didn't plan well for yourself and family…

[DanielDogeanu]

It's not just careers that are dead, but the jobs themselves! I give max 5 years until we're all homeless. Nobody seems to think about a post AI world, and corporations are only thinking about profits. We're sleepwalking into a great disaster!

[KillerSpud]

I'd be loyal to a company if it were even possible for a company to be loyal to me back.

[Abioticwinter]

I'm GenX and I have been laid off several times. I hold degrees and certificates in my field. I also have done other work outside of my career field. My retirement is so bad thanks to everything that I assume I will work till I cant or die. Companies have treated us like trash. I work for money. If you offer more and I think will benefit me I will leave. I still have a few friends who are trying to hold onto their old jobs. Scared to leave. They think one day the company will take care of me. You make more money job hopping than sitting.

[anonundeclared]

This is also why ghosting by employees is becoming common. Someone else gives an employee a better offer? Why bother giving the old employer notice? Just disappear without notice. And from my experiences, the companies deserve this contempt and lack of consideration.

[earthsteward]

In the 90s, my grandmother refused to buy a car from a sales rep that was a family friend simply because he changed jobs too much. In her day, job hopping was considered a bad thing. Now, it's survival
