Opis

Life as a member of the contingent workforce gives you a front row seat to the freak show of the job search industry. Steeped in appeals to prove value in a shape shifting labor market, the author turns her klieg light questioning to the world of the unemployed. Trying to avoid despair in the wake of a dead end career, she listens to the stories of other seekers. She then concludes what she has long suspected: the unspoken, unrealistic expectations of the American hiring machine thwarts the intentions of the men and women still seeking to control their connection to work. This book is a series of essays from a very inquisitive mind wishing to understand how the very mechanisms of employment have failed to utilize the best efforts of millions of people. Fallout from the workforce is part spiritual journey, part social commentary. It is a chronicle of personal observations, interviews, and wisdom gathered from philosophers and psychologists. It acknowledges the many thinkers of our time trying to steer us out of this period and toward the evolution of society.
