| Description: |
Crisis at Work examines the impact work, as a precarious entity, has on the intimate and intrapersonal lives of individuals. It examines how we negotiate our identities, the trade-offs we make, and how we achieve greater meaning and fulfilment when our productive lives fail to sustain and fulfil. |
| Synopsis: |
This book explores how work can be precarious and intrinsically alienating. We know little about how this condition and how changing work and career impacts the lives of men and women, and less about the way individuals understand themselves in the face of institutions and organisations from which they feel marginalised. Based on the narratives of individuals who have experienced extraordinary work-life changes, Crisis at Work explores identity as an integral feature of the self-work relationship. It examines how we negotiate our identities, the trade-offs we make, and how we achieve greater meaning and fulfilment when our productive lives fail to sustain and fulfil. Reflecting a growing fracture between what we value, believe in, and are committed to, and the degree to which work and career - as social institutions - have become incapable of assuaging those desires, Potter examines how individuals attempt to assemble lives they find rich and rewarding, and how work is negotiated within the constraints and possibilities of the contemporary moment. |
