I guess I'm too old to embrace transformational jobs. I never realized it but I was constantly being ask to help people "transform" their work experience. I had a skill set from having a college degree, continued education and 20 plus years of on the job experience which meant there were only a few people in our organization who could do that particular job. The theory of transformational work is very foreign to me as it was always a transactional relationship until our highly trained and highly skilled human resources dept. decided that transformational work was a thing. For about the last 10 years that I worked I was a trainer/worker but my workload was never reduced. It was increased because I was saddled with working with people who were never hired to do that job (not qualified) but were transforming. Moving around in the organization because you didn't care for the job you were hired to do became the norm for younger employees. My complaint was that I was being asked to train people and at the same time get x amount of work done. Didn't really work that well because it was a very technical job that required some formal training.
So now we have a workforce that expects transformational job opportunities. Private companies can't really afford that so they just move those transactional jobs offshore. With China doing a good part of that work I can see how we are heading for the mother of all recessions.
