Description
Work Won't Love You Back: How Devotion to Our Jobs Keeps Us Exploited, Exhausted and Alone by Sarah Jaffe. We've all been sold on the idea that certain work is not really work, but rather something we do for passion. But what happens when this 'labour of love' myth leads us down a path of exploitation, exhaustion and loneliness? This book examines how workers from various backgrounds - including unpaid interns, overworked teachers, nonprofit employees, domestic workers, and professional athletes - have been tricked into a new tyranny of work. Sarah Jaffe argues that understanding the labour of love trap is key to breaking free. By shedding light on the ways in which we've all been misled, she shows how we can start to demand fair treatment and find joy, pleasure and satisfaction in our work.
