The employee of today is an anxious and scared individual. At the heart of the employee's problem, are expectations that can no longer be fulfilled by employers. I call these expectations the Employment Illusion. This illusion contains expectations that cannot be fulfilled in the current economic environment, and are fueled by collectivist cultures that create dependency and conformist cultural characteristics in the employee population.These expectations include perceived entitlements such as; job security, health insurance and retirement benefits. They are fueled by the adopted collectivist cultures, which have been promoted for many years by employers/Institutions. The promoted cultures have served two purposes for the institutions, they made it easier for them to attract employees, and have also generated revenues for the companies.For the population, however, the end result of these adopted cultures is an individual who justifies their entitlement mind-set via claims that they have valuable skills and experiences needed by the institutions. With today's technological advances and changing economic environment, the value to the institutions of these skills and experience is rapidly eroding. These cultures are now back-firing on both employee and employer, as a new economic environment emerges.The result is an acrimonious relationship between employee and employer which negatively affects both parties. The employee's fears, stem from an inability to adapt to the new economic realities. After years of adopting cultures that have made them dependent on institutions for their everyday needs, they find themselves ill prepared for the new reality of uncertain and shrinking employment opportunities. The employees dependency on the institutions, has also allowed the owners and mangers of these institutions to increasingly violate the employees natural individual freedoms and privacy via mandated drug tests, illigal search and seizures and intrusive background checks. Furthermore, my research shows that individuals with dependency and conformists, characteristics spend large amounts of their time on distractions, in an attempt to escape their toxic unnatural reality. The natural default of all living organisms on earth is individual freedom and independence. As a result, these collectivist cultures have a significant negative impact on the quality of life of the individual and those around them.The fastest growing opportunities in today's economic environment are temporary consultancies and entrepreneurial opportunities, which provide uncertainty in both revenues and continued availability. In this book, Prof. Frank Ngarua analysis the adopted collectivist cultures that have made employees unable to transition, and how both employees and employers can change these cultures to allow for a better outcome for both.
