Companies have also responded to economic pressures by restructuring for greater efficiency. This sort of change within a company usually means that unnecessary Jobs are cut, or that fewer employees must do more work. In either case, some employees find themselves looking for new jobs.
New technology has also had an impact on workplaces. The increasing use of personal computers has meant fewer jobs for office secretaries, as their former bosses do their own word processing and letter writing, and for travel agents, a more travelers make their own reservations online. Automation, including the use of robotic devices, has replaced workers in clothing factories, post offices, and telephone companies, to name just a few.
Besides these economic and technological reasons, today's employees are also responsible for more frequent job changes. Workers in the past were less likely to leave a company because they were dissatisfied with working conditions or because they didn't get along with their fellow employees. People today expect to enjoy their work and to get a high degree of personal satisfaction from what they do for a living
