Employees in Reverse

Employers used to find talent anywhere and physically move them to where it was most convenient to the employer. Employees were expected to drop their gender, their parenthood, and their personalities from their workplace behavior. They were expected to dress a certain way and in every way become more like their employer and coworkers. If an employee had to talk to the public, their language would be scripted and stilted.

Soon, employees will be in control. Their ability to work anywhere, gender, parenthood, and personality will be what is valued. Their employers will become more like them. When they talk to the public it will be them speaking.
