Author of Work Won't Love You Back @sarahljaffe on why we're expected to love our jobs & how to say: "No. You’re making money off me. I do not owe you love or gratitude. I owe you my end of the labor contract, which is I show up and I do my job." For @wttj welcometothejungle.com/en/ar…
Sarah Jaffe on why it’s time to fall out of love with work
