LinkedIn founder Reid Hoffman on the biggest lie employers tell employees

8/11/2015

This article discusses "The Alliance," a book written by Reid Hoffman, the co-founder of LinkedIn, along with Ben Casnocha and Chris Yeh. The book focuses on the changing nature of employment relationships in the modern workplace. It argues that traditional notions of employment contracts and long-term loyalty between employers and employees are becoming obsolete in today's fast-paced and dynamic business environment. Instead, the book proposes a new model, called "tours of duty," that encourages employees and employers to form short-term alliances based on mutual benefit and skill development. The article highlights key concepts from the book and discusses its implications for both employers and employees in the current job market.
