> Job burnout is an epidemic, and tech workers are especially at risk. Here’s how you can avoid feeling fried – and what employers can do to de-stress their workforce.
Insane work hours and constantly availability is the epidemic here. Workers can de-stress their workforce by refusing to be available for more than 40 hours a week, and not worrying about doing outside projects if they don't feel like it. Employers can de-stress their workforce by not asking for more than 40 hours a week.
