Dead wood?

A very intersting, but too brief, interview with anthropologist, Karen Ho, who comments that...

"The kind of worker they imagine is a worker like themselves. A worker who is constantly retraining, a worker who is constantly networked, a worker whose skill set is very interchangeable, a worker who thinks of downsizing as a challenge — a worker who thrives on this. This becomes the prototype, but in many ways that's quite removed from the daily lives of most American workers."

I sure would like to read more of her thoughts, but what there is you can read here.
