Burnout is real but the root cause is us. You can control your workload 100%. The trap is fear of not meeting expectations. But no expectation that exceeds our limits is good. This is why Kanban is good. There's only one thing in progress at a time. In the age of increasing collaboration there's no real excuse for burn out.
If you cannot get your comfort zone corrected, find a new job.
As someone who didn't have that luxury you're talking about, I hope someday you realize that what you just said is somehow very cruel.
Some of us, depending of familial obligation, financial security and whatnot, may at some point not have the "control" you're talking about. I didn't have it, and wasn't financially secure enough to quit my job or imposing things at my last job.
I did try to talk to my bosses about taking step and adopting new workflows, but harsh reality was, they just didn't care.
Not trying to rebute your entire point though. In most situation we do have some control about these things. But sometimes we don't. And we can't go assuming people do. We can't go assuming the root cause is them too.
And "get a new job" is also very cruel, for obvious reasons.
If one cannot get another job then they must learn how to adapt to the pressure. In this case it's simply a matter of self honesty and doing the best one can do. Nothing else matters but continual improvement of one's skills.
This is quite a damaging comment but you are entitled to your opinion.
Burnout is a real and very well known thing to effect people and very real to those who have experienced it. Everyone is different and experiences situations differently.
I'm glad to hear you was able to adapt to those situations that best suit you but it is a not one fits all situation and hopefully you can understand and respect others opinions and experiences also.
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
