It's kind of funny, but when you talk to a lot of fellow worker drones, who lack the kind of free will required to accurately describe their own motivations for holding down a job, most will continuously describe burnout as being at fault and getting fired during a moment when they failed the company. Like: Oh boo hoo, I suffered burnout this one time because I was so incompetant. Good on my boss for firing me when I deserved it! Most worker drones with attitudes like this usually cannot or will not describe their core motivations for maintaining employment (power motives, according to the article) as "needing to pay rent" or something similarly compulsory. Maybe it's just too awful too think in such bleak terms. But this article points to an interesting symmetry of blame: the workers beats themselves up, and the employers express absurd, overbearing demands, or some combination of the two. Worst case scenarios being the blind leading the blind. You rarely see articles that provide a cold look at employer/employee relationships, and explore scenarios where emotional investment is optional on both sides of the table.
