Hey, I’ve come across this idea from time to time in posts and replies. An idea that identifying as a “worker” has / is becoming a more centrally defining self identity – against the backdrop of rising costs of living not being matched by salary increases. I’m fascinated in the idea that defining ourselves as “workers” first, in amongst the other various identities we hold (brother, sister, mum, friend, etc etc) is becoming a more centrally defining construct. I’m interesting in the idea of silently quitting in the context of worker identity, and possibly how broader social context at the moment may quietly be drawing this sort of relationship with work out of us – that our value is primarily as producers (live to work, or work to live)
Anyone have any suggestion or ideas on where to dig into this idea more?
Many thanks – and please all remember to unplug from work as often as you can
