You’re told that if you do what you love, you’ll never work a day in your life. 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 s...

«Fa' ciò che ami, e non lavorerai nemmeno un giorno in vita tua»: ecco lo slogan che ha mosso le nostre vite alla ricerca del lavoro dei sogni, quello che fai con il sorriso sulle labbra, che mette in gioco i tuoi talenti migliori e ti fa sentire parte di una squadra – di più: parte di una famiglia. Peccato che in quello slogan si nascondesse la ricetta per lo sfruttamento, il programma in codice per una nuova tirannia del lavoro che abbiamo accolto allegramente, convinti che il lavoro avr...

Un examen exhaustivo de por qué «hacer lo que te gusta» es una receta para la explotación, que crea una nueva tiranía del trabajo en la que aceptamos alegremente realizar tareas que se apoderan de nuestras vidas. Te dicen que «si haces lo que te gusta, no trabajarás ni un día de tu vida». Ya sea trabajando por «exposición» y «experiencia», o soportando malos tratos en nombre de «formar parte de la familia», todos los empleados nos vemos empujados a hacer sacrificios por el privilegio de po...

La pandemia di Covid, i disastri ambientali e il cambiamento climatico, la crisi economica che sembra non finire mai, le guerre e le violenze razziste e politiche a cui assistiamo continuamente hanno strappato la morte e la perdita alla dimensione privata e personale per riportarle prepotentemente a quella pubblica e collettiva. Eppure il lutto – tanto quello personale quanto quello provocato da perdite e paure globali – continua a costituire uno dei grandi rimossi della nostra epoca. Ma s...

Segur que a tu també t’han dit que si fas el que t’agrada serà com si no treballessis cap dia de la teva vida. Sota aquest pretext del capitalisme i el liberalisme no hem qüestionat el que és inacceptable: treballem gratuïtament a canvi d'experiència, suportem un mal tracte per arribar a una determinada posició o fem hores extres per lluitar per una bona causa. Poc a poc, ens hem anat veient empesos a sacrificar la vida i el temps personal pel privilegi de treballar en allò que ens satisfà...

When privileged parents say that they "want what's best" for their child, they don't consciously add "and not for other children."Yet the practical effect of parents with privilege relentlessly pursuing their own child's interests is that other children are left behind. Author Sarah W. Jaffe interviewed dozens of parents who are resisting the cultural pressures to seek "the best" for only their kids while navigating some of the major decisions that parents ...
