Corporate Sellouts

EP 1: Do you need to be passionate about your job?

Listen Later

In our very first episode ever of The Corporate Sellouts Podcast, co-hosts Taylor & Tori dive into the concept of passion, and if it’s a necessary ingredient for you to be good at your job. Hint: it’s 100% not, and actually just a way for employers to exploit their workers! We go into research by sociology professor Erin Cech and how fulfillment in your day-to-day role is far more important than passion.

Questions we answer in today’s episode:

  • What is a "Corporate Sellout" and what does it have to do with passion?
  • Is passion a privilege?
  • How do employers take advantage of workers who are passionate? 
  • “Love what you do and you’ll never work a day in your life” is a commonly quoted statement. Is it true?

    • Resources Discussed:

    • The Trouble with Passion, book by Erin Cech
    • It’s OK to Not Be Passionate About Your Job  - NPR LifeKit
