Starbucks tests the limits of emotional labor

Arlie Hochschild coined the term in 1983 to describe a specific workplace cost. Starbucks' Green Apron Service is pushing it further than she imagined

Quartz

"She’d been dating Max for a few months when it struck her — mid-conversation with a friend — that she had no idea what he felt about her or their future.
"So she stopped asking."

As Pepper puts it, it’s “fine to give boys and men some homework.” This homework begins with fostering self-awareness, emotional literacy and responsibility for your actions.

I think I missed #internationalMensDay but I've been thinking a lot lately about male mentorship, not the business kind, but coaching peers and young men on emotional literacy and interpersonal skills.

There's been a lot of talk lately about women not doing #emotionalLabour (valid!) but it leaves a gap, with no history or cultural infrastructure for men to learn and build capacity.

Fellas, hit me with moments of man-on-man emotional mentoring. I know it's out there.
💪🧡

As expected, no empathy or compassion was shown in response to my "deep" introductory post—only an expectation and a request for me to provide additional work and #EmotionalLabour for the unit coordinator (which, I had already completed).

So yes, while I appreciate that there was no #InspirationPorn, it would be nice to hear that they acknowledge it and are happy to support if needed.

Still remembering that time when, back in my masc-presenting days, I decided that my wife was having to do too much of the #EmotionalLabour of managing the social calendar in the relationship, and so I declared that I would organise the next get-together with friends. So I wrote an email and sent it to a bunch of folks to ask when they'd be available.

...most of whom phoned or messaged my wife to RSVP. 😣

🌈 Emotional Labour 🌈

Emotional labour is the process of managing emotions to meet job requirements, often seen in service roles and healthcare. It can lead to burnout if not managed well. 💖

And every time I have to go through that, I can feel how much it wipes me out.

Now of course that one is exacerbated by the high stakes, i.e. knowing how much another round of covid would probably mess me up. It's scary.

But I do think that part of it is the effort of presenting a diplomatic front. Emotional labour to not be angry with them, cognitive labour for how to explain it so they'll understand.

So far, in my experience I have disproven unilateral social reciprocity and relational inequity.

Two out of three tenets. Would be all three, but I keep holding up the last one.
