...that was then. Today I read TIME's predictions of what the future holds for our jobs, workplace and the economy. Will any of it come true, or are we looking at another example of the Japan of 10 years ago? I believe many of the visions in your report will not come true.

A hit-count list of the previous day's articles, it would range from tens of thousands (say, a cover story on a sex scandal) to a few thousand or less (say, mine). The writers' room in hell has a similar setup. There's nothing to make you question your career goals like discovering that your take on the post-Tina Brown New Yorker was empirically proved to be 10 times less interesting than Jennifer Lopez...
