Summary: "For most of the 20th century, the relationship between employers and employees in the developed world was all about stability and lifetime loyalty. That has recently changed, giving way to a transactional, laissez-faire approach that serves neither party well.

Under the new compact, both employer and employee seek to add value to each other"--Provided by publisher.
