You have heard the address “dear colleagues” many times and you know exactly your income level. However, how much does your work actually cost you? Journalist and researcher of the history of the labor movement in the United States Sarah Jaffe explains how our professional relationships are manifested in false care, the crisis of the family, the history of slavery and class struggle that has not disappeared, and explains why the myth of love of work is so harmful. Where is the line between work? and life? How does the idea of love of work allow us to manipulate people and what will help us accurately recognize exploitation? What lessons can we learn from the history of labor rights activism? How can solidarity help our society in the face of labor automation and the disappearance of hundreds of professions? Sarah Jaffe's book will provide an opportunity to understand how to avoid becoming a victim of emotional burnout and what needs to be done so that the age-old dreams of work as a vocation do not remain just dreams.
