Are you willing to share your work?
)
September 22nd, 2011
This question is about the way your work makes you feel safe. Work can earn you an income. It can give you status. It can give you an identity. Even work that is a pain or is seen as scut work or pure service work can provide you with these things.
Are you willing to share your work? Does sharing your work threaten your identity? Does sharing only certain kinds of work threaten your identity?
Like, if it’s work you think is unappreciated or that no one notices, is it ok to share that? What about doing laundry or cooking or cleaning around the house? Are you happy to share that? Or would that threaten your place in the world? Do you know people who would never give up this kind of work? A mother or grandmother, perhaps?
And if you have high status work, would you ever be willing to share that? Share the wealth? Or would that be threatening to your place in the world, too?
