Work is labour and should not be a metric to ascertain people's worth. Unfortunately that is not changing anytime soon, LinkedIn notes: "The idea that one's work is the core of one's identity and even their moral character is common philosophy in the U.S. and Canada. One's job is often deemed as the "single most important way of proving your worth." A recent report in Grow argues that this feeling can be particularly harmful to those who lose their jobs or are looking for work as it can sap their esteem and leave them alienated. Further, this thinking can lead to overwork and decreased life satisfaction gained through leisure activities."

Silicon Valley

As work shapes identities, location may not matter that much: 'Before the pandemic, tech companies pulled out all the stops to lure top talent to the Bay Area. But free lunches, ping-pong tables, on-site doctors and other office perks aren’t cutting it anymore. Instead, executive job candidates want to work remotely — forever. Companies are increasingly eliminating requirements for HQ-based managers in yet another blow to Silicon Valley. For years, the assumption was that you had to be in the Bay Area to make it in tech, but “if the remote-work trend holds, it could undermine a storied part of Valley culture,” writes Bloomberg.'
