N2 - Purpose: The purpose of this study is to discuss the way future workplaces may operate and how careers will be developed under possible extreme scenarios. Design/methodology/approach: We propose a thought-provoking conceptual discussion of the challenges for people’s careers under such scenarios. Findings: We identified four such possible extreme scenarios and elaborated on the theoretical knowledge regarding the essence of each scenario. We discussed their impact on future workplaces in general and on careers in particular. These are (1) highly developed artificial intelligence and other cyber entities; (2) massive immigration due to wars, refugees and other forces; (3) widescale de-globalization; and (4) major global recession. Originality/value: Employing the career ecosystem and sustainability theories, we identify possible outcomes and implications for theory as well as practice of managing careers under these extreme scenarios. This offers a novel perspective for individuals, organizations and policymakers at national and global levels.
