The End of Employees – WSJ

Never before have American companies tried so hard to employ fewer people. From Google to Wal-Mart, the outsourcing boom is cutting costs for firms and job security for millions of workers.

I told my children when they were leaving education that they would be well advised to look for customers not bosses.

It’s been exactly seven years since I read Charles Handy’s The Age of Unreason.  And if you are familiar with Handy’s work the WSJ’s article should not come as a surprise.  The surprise is how long it has taken for companies to figure out how to outsource effectively.

I hope you read books.

Dear Plagiarist – Annals of Internal Medicine – American College of Physicians

I am aware that you recently admitted to wrongly publishing, as your own, a scientific research paper that I had submitted to Annals of Internal Medicine. After serving as an external peer reviewer on our manuscript, you published that same manuscript in a different medical journal a few months later. You removed the names of the authors and the research site, replacing them with the names of your coauthors and your institution.

The fact that shit like this doesn’t surprise me anymore bothers me.
