On “Psychology Behind the Headlines,” hosts Patricia Wu, Jessica Reyes, and guest psychotherapist Lauren Jeffrey discuss a new study suggesting that loyal employees may be more likely to be exploited with extra, often unpaid work.

It’s a Business Transaction
Remember that work is a place where you exchange your time and skills for money. Don’t feel pressured to sacrifice more for an employer than is agreed upon.
