I write regularly about the changing American workplace, and how Millennials and workers under 30 fit into that workplace. Like all cultural institutions, our workplaces are ever-evolving, gradually shifting to make room for new expectations, ideas, and establishments.
Though you probably notice some of these changes as they start to affect your own career, it’s mostly up to analysts to take a step back and identify exactly what changes are rolling out, as well as how and why.
Change is to be expected, unfolding at a constant rate as new generations replace old generations, and as old ideas become obsolete. But here’s the thing; in today’s world, change isn’t unfolding at a constant rate—it’s unfolding at a faster and faster rate. The rate of change in today’s workplace is accelerating, and if you aren’t prepared, it could dramatically impact your career.
