An HONEST, laugh-out-loud
CAREER MANIFESTO FOR CREATIVE PROFESSIONALs
“Eat Pray Love meets Fleabag in a WeWork.”
I usually find BUSINESS books to be a total drag, but this one grabbed me immediately and took me for a ride. Brie is an extraordinary writer.
— Leslie Zaikis, Founder @ The New HQ
If you’re feeling burnt out from working in tech, or are considering creating a portfolio career than I absolutely recommend you READ this book.
— Katrina Watson, Fractional PM
In 2023, Brie Abramowicz was swept up in a company restructure and shoved off the hamster wheel—only to discover that Corporate America wasn’t going to catch her.
Polyworker tells the story—in darkly funny and painfully familiar detail—of what happens when a millenial 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 unexpected: building a portfolio career!
Both a mirror and a map, Polyworker captures a generation’s disillusionment with traditional 9-to-5 careers and their attraction to a provocative alternative : a multidimensional, self-authored way of working built on curiosity, adaptability, and creativity.
Ever wonder whether trading your dignity, sense of self, and your time was really worth the free salad Thursdays, THE logoed water bottle, and the illusion of job security?
