Support Blast, a new independent media: https://www.blast-info.fr/soutenir For a large part of the workforce, working is an ordeal. In France, one in two employees feels they are in a situation of psychological distress, which is twice as many as fifteen years ago. The number of burnouts is exploding and studies show a clear increase in distress at work. Faced with this situation, increasingly stigmatizing media and political discourse is flourishing. They regularly invoke the “value of work” without questioning what it really means, or even allow themselves to stigmatize those who encounter difficulties. However, the reality is very different from that described on many television sets. For many, work is not a space for fulfillment but a constant source of suffering. It confines, exhausts, and imposes relationships of domination where arbitrariness reigns supreme. The injunctions to always do more, to be efficient or loyal without real recognition in return become unbearable for some people. Essential tasks, often invisible, remain undervalued, while others, sometimes useless, become tools of hierarchical control. But how did we get here? To think about our daily lives, and perhaps hope to change them, it is essential to understand the structures that create so much suffering. What does the world of work really look like today in France? Who does what, who really works? Answer with two sociologists specializing in these questions, Denis Colombi and Nicolas Framont in this new program for Blast.
