What is the Recession Brewing for the Future?

Lately, I’ve been hearing that ‘doing more with less’ is the “new normal.” One well-respected colleague said, “Well if the new normal means another year of salary cuts, longer hours, loss of benefits, reduced flexibility and a harsh, disrespectful boss, I’m not signing up for another round. I’ll go find something else to do.” If his cynical view of the world were an anomaly, I’d write it off as a sign of the times. The problem is, I’m hearing versions of his comments everywhere I go these days. People are willing to sacrifice but there is a limit to how long they can make that stretch.
