END NOTE - Quote for Today

"In the coming era, jobs will be tasks you do, not something you "have." Activities will be organized around projects, in much the way the movie companies already operate. Lifetime employment will disappear as "jobs" increasingly become tasks or "piecework" rather than positions within an organization."
The Employee Handbook of New Work Habits for the Next Millennium, Price Pritchett)
