I'm curious. What do you think the term "emotional labor" means? Please no cheating by reading the replies.

These replies are fascinating to me, because per Hochschild (1983), emotional labor is _labor_ - that is, it "refers to regulating or managing emotional expressions with others as part of one’s professional work role".

Somewhere along the way, it became a term that means, in general, any kind of effort put into relationships or emotions - and that's not necessarily a bad thing, but it's definitely an interesting transformation.

Thank you all for replying! It's always interesting to see how these academic terms are interpreted when they collide with the complexities of the world they exist in.
