Happy Christmas to us!

I looked on the BBC website for the time of Christmas episode. is it an actual episode or something just on I-player?

It’s a red button mini episode. That means for those in the UK once it goes live they’ll be able to access it by pressing the red button on their remote controls. It will also no doubt go live on-line at the same point although not clear if it will be region locked (I dont think the Doctor Who one was). I’m sure people will tweet when it goes live but understandably its Christmas Day so I wont be spending it on twitter ;)

Edit: Apparently moved up & now going live on Christmas Eve

If you are 35 or younger - and quite often, older - the advice of the old economy does not apply to you. You live in the post-employment economy, where corporations have decided not to pay people. Profits are still high. The money is still there. But not for you. You will work without a raise, benefits, or job security. Survival is now a laudable aspiration.

Quoted from Sarah Kendzior’s “Surviving the Post-Employment Economy" 

“In the United States, nine percent of computer science majors are unemployed, and 14.7 percent of those who hold degrees in information systems have no job. Graduates with degrees in STEM - science, technology, engineering and medicine - are facing record joblessness, with unemployment at more than twice pre-recession levels. The job market for law degree holders continues to erode, with only 55 percent of 2011 law graduates in full-time jobs. Even in the military, that behemoth of the national budget, positions are being eliminated or becoming contingent due to the sequester.

It is not skills or majors that are being devalued. It is people.”

Her work is frank, speaking of a reality I hope that will never be mine. At the same time, it gives me a strange comfort to know that I am not alone.

50 years ago, I would have been at Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce, in an office with my name on the door.

10 years ago, I would have been in Hannah Horvath’s version of GQ’s advertorial department, with my own cube and free snacks (as soon as the episode aired, viewers noted that even GQ has cut back, and the image of Hannah’s cheerful office is out of date)

Today, I do all of the same type of work from home, with no benefits or job security. 

BUT I CAN WORK IN MY PAJAMAS HEY
