The Workforce Is a Haunted Mirror™

“Work is a haunted house—progress with ghosts.” Labor as systemic horror.

The Workforce Is a Haunted Mirror™ reframes labor history as ghost story. From fields to factories to files to platforms, each shift left occupational ghosts that still whisper through offices and politics. Structured across paradoxes (Essential↔Nonessential, Autonomy↔Dependency, Stability↔Precarity), the text blends data, vignettes, and protective rituals. Charts reveal structural arcs; rituals offer survival tools (lamps, lineages, narrative hygiene). Tone is both spectral and practical—diagnosis of ghosts and manual of charms. A haunted house of work where we still clock in.
