Let's start the new year by imagining the future of the American workplace.
First off, everyone has a jetpack. (I have no evidence to suggest that will happen, I just really want it to happen.)
Next, the entire concept of a career has been redefined and most workers move from company to company performing projects of varying lengths and being managed, at least in part, by artificial intelligence.
The jetpack bit might be far-fetched, but the roving worker/AI manager concept is likely on the horizon.
