Polyworker: Ditch the Corporate Ladder and Reinvent Your Career on Your Terms
Ever wondered whether trading your dignity, sense of self, and every free hour of your time was really worth it for the free salad Thursdays, a logoed water bottle, and the illusion of job security?
★★★★★ “This book is a powerful companion for anyone grieving their corporate identity and reimagining what a meaningful career might look like."
Part memoir, part manifesto, Polyworker tells the story—in darkly funny and painfully familiar detail—of what happens when a burnt out millennial over achiever loses the job she built her life around, and is forced to confront the terrifying possibility that maybe it was never a life at all. What follows is a series of experiments that lead her somewhere ditching the corporate ladder and building a portfolio career.
Both a mirror and a map, Polyworker captures a generation’s disillusionment with traditional careers and their attraction to a provocative alternative : a multidimensional, self-authored way of working built on curiosity, adaptability, and creativity. (Think Eat, Pray, Love meets Fleabag in a WeWork—a witty, soul-searching journey through the messy middle of professional reinvention.)
