Because workplace culture is all of us. And until we are all unwilling to tolerate unreasonable workloads, the expectation will always be there and will be greatest for those with the least power and privilege. And we will always be judged against the person doing the most, even if they are working themselves to death."
"I think we owe it to our new colleagues to help them see the profession through a critical lens, to recognize the labor dynamics at play, to see that our profession’s leaders capitalize on the vocational awe of library workers to create a culture of overwork, and to recognize that they are doing a great job by “just” doing exactly what their job description asks of them."
"And someone who still chooses vocational awe, knowing all that, is not an ally. They are not in solidarity with their fellow workers. And no, that choice does not deserve respect."
