Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Ever wondered whether trading your dignity, sense of self, and every free hour of your time was really worth it for the free salad Thursdays, a logoed water bottle, and the illusion of job security?Part memoir, part manifesto, Polyworker tells the story-in darkly funny and painfully familiar detail-of what happens when a burnt out millennial over achiever loses the job she built her life around, and is forced to confront the terrifying possibility that maybe it was never a life at all. What follows is a series of experiments that lead her somewhere unexpected: ditching the corporate ladder and building a portfolio career.Both a mirror and a map, Polyworker captures a generation's disillusionment with traditional careers and their attraction to a provocative alternative : a multidimensional, self-authored way of working built on curiosity, adaptability, and creativity. (Think Eat, Pray, Love meets Fleabag in a WeWork-a witty, soul-searching journey through the messy middle of professional reinvention.)Inside the pages, you'll find:Stories that will make you feel seen in your own career transitionLanguage for the disillusionment you've not quite been able to articulate fullyA refreshing rejection of hustle culture and "earn-six-figures-from-your-couch" scamsReal talk about energy management, community building, and redefining success on your terms, andA practical, workbook, reflection prompts, and exercises to build a career with purpose againThe future of work is being re-written in real time. This book is your invitation to pick up the pen.What Readers Are Saying:"Truly, I've never enjoyed reading a business book more.""
