We talk shop, yet we rarely say what we intimately feel about work

We talk shop, yet we rarely say what we intimately feel about work. We spend the greater part of our lives working, yet we rarely find time to think what our jobs mean to us. The repression is curious, as though a vital sector of our lives were incommunicable, or perhaps not worth communicating.

And yet work, the capacity of acting humanely on the world, is a shared experience, for the majority of us it is done in common with others, for everyone of us it is done, however privately, for others.
— Ronald Fraser, 1960
