Click and Collect for Work won't love you back : how devotion to our jobs keeps us exploited, exhausted and aloneThis book 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.
