As our jobs demand more and more from us while also expecting us to also act cheerfully, when our scopes are widening by the day and our teams shrinking and we're supposed to Love Our Job™ (add to that the AI takeover), this essay is vital and really important in reframing exactly what is a job and how the discourse change around it changed over the last decades while our working conditions kept on being destroyed.
As long as our well-being depends on income, and income, for most, depends on work, love will always be secondary as a motivation for doing it. Encouraging workers to pretend otherwise is disingenuous and exploitative.
