You have heard the address "dear colleagues" many times and surely know your income level. But what does your work really cost you? Journalist and labor movement historian in the USA, Sarah Jaffe, explains how false care, family crisis, history of slavery, and the still-existing class struggle manifest in our professional relationships, and why the myth of love for work is so harmful. Where is the boundary between work and life? How does the idea of loving labor allow manipulation of people and what helps to unmistakably recognize exploitation? What lessons can we draw from the history of activism defending labor rights? How can solidarity help our society in the face of labor automation and the disappearance of hundreds of professions? Sarah Jaffe’s book will help understand how not to become a victim of emotional burnout and what must be done so that the age-old dreams of work as a calling do not remain just dreams.
