While the old frameworks of workplace suffering exhaust themselves searching for "defense strategies", they miss the major phenomenon of modern work: adhesion to wear.
Dejours' dead end: he thinks of a subject who suffers and defends himself. He misses the modern employee who desires his own suffering, which he experiences as proof of commitment and value — with pride.
Clot, for his part, thinks of "quality of work" as a key to understanding. That is a fiction. Believing that humans naturally love their tasks is a founding error. As if every employee genuinely loved the reality of a job they would have chosen consciously!
It is after that point that the problem grows more complex. Today, your desire to do good work is also what the system uses to keep you going, push you further, and sometimes hollow you out.
The system uses your ethics to make you accept — then desire — your own surpassing, until you are emptied.
Max-out demonstrates the architecture of this mechanism.
It exposes a subject who does not experience himself as suffering, but as performing.
Psychodynamics and the clinical approach to activity have never looked closely enough at what is happening in the backyard. Prevention and protection bodies, and the independent psychology that draws on these frameworks, begin to look only when the subject is already half burned.
The Max-out theoretical framework analyzes the engine and its point of origin: how capture confiscates your identity and your free will.
There is no legacy to protect — only individuals.
