Eh, there for sure are things such as 'mental labour'. Imagine being the only person in a relationship who worries about the bills being paid on time, who invests, saves, etc, etc.
The responsible one is going to be way more stressed than the one who doesn't have to worry about those things because the other person has it covered.
It really isn't any type of manual labour, but things like that take a toll.
Anyone who's been in a relationship where they fix all the problems and handle all the responsibilities knows the feeling.
Or being 'on' all the time at work compared to being able to relax and be yourself at home. That's essentially emotional labour. Shits pretty tiring.
I'd say the lazier people are the ones who don't do the mental labour or emotional labour. They're also the ones who don't go far in any type of corporate hierarchy.
Lefties assigned new, bigger words to it to rationalize their inability to deal with it.
"I'm not stressed, I'm undergoing emotional labour, and that takes a toll! Thus, I deserve credit as well as a break from things like paying my bills on time. It's not my fault I can't get myself out of bed so that I can consistently make it to work on time and hold down a job, it's societies fault for stressing me out so much, so it only makes sense that the government provides for me because if I wasn't so stressed I would be able to do those things!!!111111"
I don't disagree, but it really isn't those types of stress. It's the job related from dealing with customers, and doing it properly. You know how many times I've wanted to tell a customer that they're fucking retarded?
Probably once a week. It's similar to emotional IQ. Another buzzwordy thing to explain 'good at reading people'.
Someone who is good at emotional labour is good at taking a whole lot of shit, compartmentalizing it, and still treating that customer well and getting the job done. Pretty much a descriptor of anyone who's good at managing hard to manage people.
I don't know who expects to get paid for shit outside of an actual job, but yeah, that's just called living life.
You mean, taking responsibility? It's not labour, it's life. Stress comes from the gap between amount of responsibility you take and your ability to achieve it. Emotional labour is what it's called when you complain.
You might want to look up the definition of something before having a strong opinion on it lol.
Emotional labour is the act of 'keeping people happy'. It's essentially being 'on' at your job. That goes for any role where there is customer interaction, and it's why some of those roles are highly paid.
You think sports agents like all of their clients? Fuck no. You know why they get paid that much though? Because they're able to put up with them and manage them. Aka they're capable of doing the emotional labour.
It's not what it's called when you complain, it's what it's called when you have to put up with other people complaining.
Labour creates something of value. Being an emotional tampon does not. Sounds like we're from different cultures. You do your emotional labour, I'll make things people want.
You’re a fucking retard dude. The poster you’re arguing with made an excellent, well thought out post full of great points and you just respond with canned bullshit straight out of an Ayn Rand novel.
That was cringe to read. Not only are you fucking retarded, you are absolutely wrong and your “shower thought” is embarrassing teenage garbage. You’re not an entrepreneur and you don’t make shit, so shut the fuck up. That cringey post you wrote, for example, has no value whatsoever, so did you technically expend “labor” on it?
Managing clients, especially high maintenance ones, would be emotional labour, and there's people in every corporation on the planet that need to do it, and get compensated for it.
It really isn't people getting compensated for their feelings. It's being being compensated for putting up with fuckwits and making the fuckwits feel good while they do it.

I'm sure you wish other men would call you dude, but I'm pretty sure we don't. You'll get there.
Still expending labor and producing no value. Would you say you’re being a tampon right now?
This is recreation, though I suspect this might be your actual job.
Actual "Emotional Labor" requires a tangible outcome you are obligated to achieve. I'm guessing these cunts have never had one of those.
I worry about the future of my country.
Does that count as emotional labor?
