Chapter 4 Discussion!

Reading this chapter has made me view jobs differently. I got reading the section on Trends in Job Analysis and it talks about how we have the misconception that we get the job and do the same thing over and over and that there will be no changes. This is false. In today's world everything is changing rapidly and so it is necessary to have changes. The job description may say one thing when you get the job and over a period of a month to a year it may have changed quite a bit. Some may say how is this fair? Why would our bosses hire us and then change the assignments in our job? I've had an experience with this where I worked at a bakery and they gave me my list f things to do and over the 2 months I worked there they changed everything. It threw everyone off and was really frustrating. I guess one of my questions would be how do successful businesses who care about their employees slowly work into a new schedule and retrain them in some ways without having people quit and having a smooth transition?
