Work Exploitation

Workers are squeezed for more while receiving less in return.

💡

What This Means

Labor protections are eroding, wages are stagnating, and workers face precarity, surveillance, and impossible demands.

Why It Matters

When work doesn't provide dignity, security, or fair compensation, it becomes another form of exploitation rather than a path to flourishing.

💭

How It Feels

Like a hamster wheel that speeds up every day. Like your labor enriches everyone except you. Like exhaustion is your permanent state.
