In my experience, most of burnout is being held responsible for things you don't have control over. That may not be true for everyone, but it's been consistently true for me.
As a result, the "work more efficiently" comments from management/etc are just incredibly unhelpful.
Most of the discussion so far seems to center on "work more efficiently", not "find a way to be supported". The latter is usually the only thing that will help, in my experience.
- prawn 6y agoThat would hold true for one of the most extreme periods of stress/burn-out I've had in my past. A project with technical demands set by a non-technical person who had no interest in budging. I thoroughly detested that project (and that person)! In comparison, I've had periods of greater workload but where I've had full control, and enjoyed the challenge.
