“Psycho-compulsion is therefore not just about instilling people with a so-called correct employability mindset. It is a mechanism for penalising deviation from what it defines as the right set of attitudes and behaviours. ‘What psycho-compulsion therefore attempts to do is silence alternative discourses to the neoliberal myth that you are to blame for your unemployment,’ said Friedli. ‘At the same time, it undermines and erodes alternative frameworks around which people can come together in solidarity to act against the social causes of worklessness.’ In short, psycho-compulsion not only pathologises and punishes a claimant’s dissent, it depoliticises the causes of joblessness (which discourages collective action), and it does so by resuscitating Margaret Thatcher’s earlier myth that unemployment can be reduced to character deficiencies.”

“Can people survive without work? Is work a necessary construct to find meaning in life? Anthony reflected on the philosophical debates he had learned about. The ones that had gripped pre-Keitaro society. It turns out, without work, most people didn't idle lazily. Progress did not come to a screeching halt. If anything, the pace of change had only accelerated. Without work, people sought meaning in creative expression. They sought meaning in play. They sought meaning in improving their existence. Not for money. Not for prestige. Not for power. For curiosity. For enjoyment. For the challenge.”

“…the culture [had]…a manipulative but disingenuous 'we're not coworkers, we're family' mind-set. (Always be wary of a company that says seemingly well-meaning shit as this. We share a cubicle, not a fucking bloodline.)”
