If you love your job and are passionate about what you do, someone is likely taking advantage of your enthusiasm.

This is what organisational psychologist Adam Grant called out after discovering research from Duke University, which found that people see it as more acceptable to make passionate employees do extra, unpaid, and more demeaning work than they did for employees without the same passion.

The researchers found that people consider it more legitimate to make passionate employees leave family to work on a weekend, work unpaid, and handle unrelated tasks that were not in the job description.

In a nutshell: if you’re passionate about your work, you’re more likely to be exploited. In this video, we explore why paying a ‘passion tax’ is costing you more than you think.
