Whether it s working for free in exchange for experience , enduring poor treatment in the name of being part of the family , or clocking serious overtime for a good cause, more and more of us are pushed to make sacrifices for the privilege of being able to do work we enjoy.
Work Won t Love You Back examines how we all bought into this labour of love myth: the idea that certain work is not really work, and should be done for the sake of passion rather than pay. Through the lives and experiences of various workers from the unpaid intern and the overworked teacher, to the nonprofit employee, the domestic worker and even the professional athlete this compelling book reveals how we ve all been tricked into a new tyranny of work.
Sarah Jaffe argues that understanding the labour of love trap will empower us to work less and demand what our work is worth. Once freed, we can finally figure out what actually gives us joy, pleasure and satisfaction.
