Stockholm syndrome - it’s just a job

There are two realities. The first is that most of us work because we need money to live. The second reality is that no matter what they say - employers will always put profits over us, the people. Whether that means replacing workers with checkout tills, relocating production overseas to exploit workers in poor countries or pushing for zero hours contracts that give employees no guaranteed minimum income - employers show us time and time again how little we matter to them. Despite this - many of us seem to be suffering from Stockholm Syndrome where we treat our contractual relationships with our employers as though they are our family. That is why we are so emotionally invested in workplace politics and why we give away our time and resources for free. Tune in to this episode to listen to whether it's ever worth it.
