Let’s go back in time to see how professional life was in the late ‘80s, probably our parents’ work era. We have all heard stories from those bygone years – what it was like to be working with typewriters instead of word processors, to be using calculators instead of spreadsheets, and to be sending messages by post rather than e-mail. The story, though, that always capped all the rest, was the one in which professional success was defined. Do you remember that story? It basically went like this: if you had managed to work for the same organisation for 30 or 40 years – all your life, practically – and eventually retired with a big party and a gold watch, then congratulations! You were the poster boy/girl for career success.
