Bidding for your
Job

Not so long ago, employees of large corporations believed that if they did
their jobs well, they could count on working for the company for the rest of
their careers. The downsizings and reorganizations of recent years have
exploded that premise. Still, some remnants of the old beliefs linger on. Most
people assume that if they continue working for a company, they will at least
receive the same salary.

Now that premise is also giving way. Consider a practice that some
companies have lately adopted: bidding for your job.
