Assuming reliable and safe memory erasure were invented, I wouldn't mind such an arrangement if I could keep my skills and reputation, while forgetting only who I worked for and what products I worked on.

It depends on how much you can separate skills from knowledge. If you learn new things during your job and are forced to forget them, that can be a problem. For example, you learn a new programming language, then they wipe it from your memory.
