French to English translations [PRO]
Medical - Psychology / organizational psych | | French term or phrase: sur-travail | I have translated this as "overwork". A collaborator wants to use "surplus of work".
La condition de salarié aujourd’hui s’ordonne autour de deux figures symétriques et apparemment opposées : le sur-travail dans un contexte de pression temporelle et de compétition, le sous-emploi traduit par une marge de plus en plus grande de « temps partiels » |

To me, "surplus of work" is slightly ambiguous, implying a labor shortage - which is not necessarily the case. |
