I am so happy about my new job.  I am a cloud worker.  It’s a relatively new concept, where companies have a pool of resources and instead of using them all at the same time, they only use them when necessary.  The pool is familiar with the company and it’s policies and technologies, and yet the company isn’t tied to paying any individual for 40 hrs. a week.

The workers have a pool of companies that they do work for also, so neither party relies on only one source for income or for productivity.  Imagine substitute teachers- they are a pool that the district can draw from as needed.  They have been indoctrinated and registered in the system, so they are like turnkey teachers- Virtual Resources.  The beauty of it is that substitute teachers can register to sub at more than one school district.  Virtual Workers can register for even more employers because the limits  of physical distance between school districts is removed.

This is awesome!!  I am loving the security of not just working for one company, and the flexibility of picking and choosing between long and short term projects, location, whatever is available, I can pick from.

Too bad this is a virtual job.  I hope one day this becomes reality.
