An outspoken advocate of the 4-day work week and extremely passionate about dismantling capitalism, listen to this episode to find out how Laura is leading the way in unfucking work.
In this Unf*cking Work episode, we dive into:
- How to confront your internalised capitalism - is it giving you an illusion of equality? Why self-awareness and examining your own bias are crucial to minimising the negative impacts of living and working in a capitalist society.
- Is the business pursuit of ‘more’ risking the health of your staff? Why you need to prioritise pre-recovery, life/work balance and the protection of the individual.
- The reality of creating the company you’ve always wanted to work for: minimising exploitation and compromises to rethink and reshape what work can be.
