Former Wall Street Journal columnist and current CEO of the International Association of Employment Web Sites, Peter Weddle, has penned a provocative rebuttal to Free Agent Nation. Called The Career Activist Republic, it describes a new state of mind emerging in the U.S. today. Where’s the proof? Between February and April of this year, more Americans resigned their jobs than were laid off. As career activists, they represent a growing tide of people who believe they do not have to accept being treated as cheap and disposable human resources. The Great Recession has convinced them that the only way they can provide economic security for themselves and their families is to work as self-reliant and self-actualizing “persons of talent.” That doesn’t mean they’re going to become free agents, but instead they’re reimagining them-selves as freed agents – people who work for themselves but are employed by someone else. The Career Activist Republic describes this new dynamic and how it is reshaping the American world of work.
