Modern Work: Between Detachment and Dehumanization
In this episode, I reflect on how people feel about their jobs today.
I talk about something that is becoming increasingly visible: toxic work environments, companies that are more results-driven than ever, and employees who feel disconnected from their work. A growing sense of detachment that is hard to ignore.
On one side, companies have evolved into more efficient systems—but also more impersonal ones, where people are treated as “assets.” On the other side, especially after the pandemic, many individuals have started questioning the meaning of work, the balance between life and career, and the stability they once took for granted.
This episode explores that silent tension between companies and employees, the speed of change, and the difficulty of building a stable life in such an uncertain environment.
It’s also a personal reflection on something deeper: how we often look for identity, purpose, and security in work—and why that can lead to frustration.
Maybe the answer is not to change the system entirely, but to change how we position ourselves within it.
