Sarah Jaffe Work
In 2020, Sarah published her second book, Work Won’t Love You Back: How Devotion to Our Jobs Keeps Us Exploited, Exhausted, and Alone with Bold Type Books. The book described the lives of ten people with a wide range of different jobs, using critiques of emotional labor to account for increasingly demanding jobs that are not accompanied by increased financial compensation.
Sarah argues that this logic makes workers like teachers, expected to undergo unfair work conditions, including low pay and long hours because they love their students. Further, she suggests it silences critique because low-paid workers in their “dream job” in the non-profit world, internships, or academia are seen as ungrateful if they question the power arrangement in their work and who it serves.
