The final phase of capitalism - the destruction of the population in the name of profit.
Useless #PPE or none against #covid19. #NHS #staff #working in conditions like #fieldhospitals in #war. Unsurprisingly they have #ptsd, became sick with #longcovid, poor #health from #repeated #covid #infections or #burnout owing to #overwork & lack of #mandated #mitigation. Now #jobadvisors are going to get them back to #work! #Health isn't improved by #job #advisors. The #UK is a cruel & heartless place.

→ Posting vulnerability on LinkedIn
https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/14614448241243094
“On one hand, posting #vulnerability on #LinkedIn is a strategic form of digital #selfbranding, which monetizes vulnerability and #depoliticizes its meanings. At the same time, vulnerability posts have the potential to form a basis for #resistance to digital and #work cultures’ glorification of #overwork, individualized #resilience and self-sufficiency, and the constant pressure to #selfpromote.”

Overwork Pays Off More for Men:
New research finds an “overwork premium” - Evaluators allocate greater organizational rewards to people who work 50+ hrs per week ("overworkers"), *even when they do the same amount and quality of work as standard workers.*
In addition, male overworkers reap a significantly larger overwork premium than female overworkers.
