Description
Work Won't Love You Back: How Devotion to Our Jobs Keeps Us Exploited, Exhausted and Alone by Sarah Jaffe. The idea that certain work is not really work, but rather something done for the sake of passion rather than pay, has become increasingly appealing in recent years. However, this notion has led many workers down a path of exploitation, exhaustion, and isolation. Through the stories of various individuals from different professions, including unpaid interns, overworked teachers, nonprofit employees, domestic workers, and professional athletes, Jaffe reveals how we've all been tricked into a new form of work tyranny. By examining these experiences, Jaffe argues that understanding the labour of love trap is crucial to breaking free from its constraints. She contends that recognizing the true nature of our work can empower us to demand fair compensation and create a more fulfilling career path.
