That's an interesting concept... but doesn't it apply to every job?

That's an interesting concept... but doesn't it apply to every job?
- gohrt 11y agoOnly for customer-facing jobs. People don't care how much Bangladeshi children hate sewing shrts for them.
- ectoplasm 11y agoTheir boss doesn't want them to show emotional restraint?
- jacalata 11y agoTheir boss wants them not to stop working but (I imagine) could not care less if they cry or smile as they work. Do you agree it would be harder for them if they were required to smile and make small talk as they worked? If you want another example of not having to do emotional labor, think of a rock star who gets away with throwing tantrums at his manager or quitting halfway through a show - zero emotional restraint required.
- ectoplasm 11y agoWorkers cannot express (unrestrained) anger towards their boss. Can you? Rock stars cannot express anger towards their audience. I mean, I suppose they can, but it increases the chances of unemployment.
