Most people I know who experience burnout have not learned how to make their own deadlines. They feel pressured by management's deadlines and blindly do what they're told instead of what is healthy. Mental and physical health always comes first. If you're regularly working 50 hours a week to meet a deadline, you might want to stop and ask yourself why you're doing that.
For me, I've had burnout but it's been from 1) not being treated well by coworkers or management or 2) not being given the right workload and not knowing how to express that to management.
- maxlamb 6y agoI know people who feel more burned out at a job with no deadlines and very little work to do. Some people burn out because they feel their work is meaningless, and so in a way their life in meaningless. Add to that the feeling that they are still subjugated to their boss's whims, so they are not in total control over lives. I think finding a company with a culture/purpose/product that fits your personality is definitely worth the effort in that it can alleviate those issues.
