Is The Job Description Relevant in the New World of Work?

This was posted by Libby in What's Next on October 8, 2009 on brandfortalent.com and I thought to post here because she made some interesting points. Today’s worker, “the new consumer of work” is not motivated by a “job” or a description of that job. As business gradually made traditional jobs more disposable, and traditional workers began to demand more flexibility, the concept of work changed from one of a finite number of jobs to an infinite amount of work a business might need.
What do you think? Are we now describing projects instead of full time jobs?
