I have long contended that a key transformation to p2p culture rests in the reclamation of the operationalization of “work” by the workers themselves: everything from self-selection (volunteerism) like we see on Wikipedia to widespread freelancing made possible by sites that match individuals’ skillsets to others’ needs. Now, Not An Employee celebrates the individual’s freedom to choose a self-directed work life

I have long contended that every employee would be much better if they quite thinking of themselves as an "employee". The best thing you can do for yourself, your career and your employer is to always think of yourself as a self employed "free agent". While the rest of the world doesn't share the same employee/employer relationship we have in the US, here at least we have the opportunity to quite a job just as easy as our employer has the ability to "realocate resources".
