Many job changes are catalyzed by unhappiness or discontent.
“Now is not the time to ‘run away’ from a job. For others, it could mean a whole new line of work. What they all do acknowledge is that the landscape will be changed, and more than ever before, workers will have to take a good hard look at what their skills are and where those skills fit into the marketplace.įor some, that could mean staying put. Luckily, the idea they all share is not so much that workers need to expect smaller paychecks or derailed careers in the wake of the recession. Since opinions are so wide-ranging, Glassdoor convened a panel of their own experts. Others have recommended the exact opposite approach, saying now is the time to reinvent yourself and your career. Some people have advised downgrading job-search expectations and playing it safe with career moves. This has real-world implications for job seekers and job holders. So companies are likely to hire fewer people coming out of this recession, and employment may remain depressed until beyond 2012.
Companies are getting significant increases in productivity while customer demand remains weak. Globalization, increased computing power, and a dramatic shift in consumer spending have organizations radically overhauling the way they get work done. One of the hottest topics is salary, and just tackled the issue, saying: The recession has shaken everyone up, and now there’s a lot of scrambling to figure out if workers are going to have to adjust their expectations for a long time to come.
It’s beginning to seem a bit like an earthquake: the 30 seconds of shaking that gets your attention, followed by the long-term damage discovered later. For example, will the job market return to normal - or will we have to settle for a "new normal"? Is there hope for salary recovery after the recession? No one is certain how long the current economic downturn will last, but if that weren’t bad enough, economic experts are starting to ask the hard questions that come afterwards.
