It's a little sad that the author identifies the source of the problem as capitalism but effectively adopts the capitalist, individualistic and economic framework talking about it's effects.

Everything in life is no longer just living or valuable in itself but has to be seen and talked about as part of an economy. It's like Cypher in the Matrix writing about the relative benefits of changing his dinner from steak to something cheaper.

Nothing now is useful if it cannot be evaluated in terms of money or capital. Even the term "emotional labour" the author seeks to replace is within this frame.

It's not "just work", it's life.
