In late August, I sampled a new newsletter from the Washington Post.
It’s called “Shifts” and it’s an introduction to workers whose jobs didn’t exist a generation ago.
We’ll meet these people – the Post promises – "at their desks and in the field …" and along the way, we’ll get a glimpse into the future of work.
Brigid Schulte used to write about work at the Washington Post and is director of the Better Life Lab, and in her new book about work, titled
“Over Work: Transforming the Daily Grind in the Quest for a Better Life,” she’s grappling with what workers want, how employers are adjusting – or not! – to worker demands post-pandemic, how we should think about work … and Brigid’s own struggle with workaholism.
She writes: “Our modern story of work is divorced from reality … and an astoundingly myopic failure of vision … one that has led to an exhausting grind.”
