    I'm still astonished by what I endured for the sake of a paycheque. To be fair, I was also doing it because terribly vulnerable people relied on me to do what I did. I'm still extremely relieved that I left that field of work when I still had some wellbeing left. And, I've been doing #PrecariousWork ever since but it's work that I love and which boosts me up.

  2. Enforcing European and national laws is paramount to reduce #PrecariousWork and #MentalHealth problems arising from it.

    We call for the adoption of specific legislation to prevent and combat work- related psychosocial risks.

    There are worse things in life than changing one's occupation and location, later in life, especially if a reasonable pension has already been earned. I switched from working Child Protection as a Social Worker after 25 years, to teach ESL, about 1/2 of the time in Việt Nam. It's given me a new lease on life and I still feel very proud of the work I did working with children in need and their families. My second career is #PrecariousWork and not terribly well-paid but it's great.

  4. Just signed up to this site… still on that other site - same handle! - but for how much longer, who knows?!😊 Keen to follow anyone else who’s into critical studies of work, #labour, #politicaleconomy, #development, etc etc 👋 #highered #labor #sociology #economicsociology #unions #precariouswork #futureofwork

  5. Today’s my last day as Artist in Residence at @vitalstatistix_ - it’s been an amazing year of art, writing, research, collaboration and conversation.

    There are a couple more essays in the pipeline, but for now please enjoy ‘Sick Leave’ - a grant application I wrote as part of the residency, proposing to pay sick leave to artists…

  6. looking for anything related to precarious work and its impact in family life.

    I have already selected @heejungchung 's The Flexibility Paradox, but I would really benefit from other sources.

  7. In my work as a #librarian I’m very concerned about the rising tide of #censorship (official & vigilante), giving young people access to diverse & real views of the world in story (#WeNeedDiverseBooks), breaking down barriers to learning & creating for #neurodivergent & other #disabled kids, & fighting the rising tide of #PrecariousWork at #libraries by building solidarity among #LibraryWorkers & supporting patrons to demand better from their civil institutions.
