Through the lives and experiences of various workersΓÇöfrom the unpaid intern and the overworked teacher, to the nonprofit employee, the domestic worker and even the professional athleteΓÇöthis compelling book reveals how weΓÇÖve 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.

Brugerbedømmelser af Work Won't Love You Back

  • Laila �. 19. januar 2022

    Jeg giver bogen fire stjerner. Hvorfor ikke fem? Fordi Sarah Jaffe naturligt nok tager udgangspunkt i amerikanske og engelske forhold, og de er ikke helt sammenlignelige eller henførbare med danske/nordiske arbejdsmarked. Det ændrer ikke på, at hun har fantastiske pointer. Kvindelige kunstnere, sygeplejersker, lærere, free-lancere og sportsudøvere mv. - de får stort set alle en lavere løn end deres mandlige kollegaer og kæmper en ulige og hård kamp for at få bedre vilkår. For endda at få en løn! Hendes afsnit om de frivillige arbejdere, der tager rundt til lægeklinikker, og som knap bliver betalt. Det er himmelråbende. Og for en, der er født og opvokset i den danske velfærdsmodel er det skræmmende at læse. Og trist. Så tak til Sarah for en tankevækkende bog. Håber, det kan give blod på tanden til de mange, der er i udsatte kvindebrancher. Håber også, at det er få i Danmark, der har så dårlige vilkår, som Sarah beskriver.
