A lot of jobs are miserable; if someone moves to a new job and is also miserable there, I wouldn't assume that the fault lies with the person from a sample size

A lot of jobs are miserable; if someone moves to a new job and is also miserable there, I wouldn't assume that the fault lies with the person from a sample size of two.
I agree though that for many people their situation could be improved by the assistance of a mental health professional. But that doesn't mean that their problems are all caused internally and aren't to some degree a product of their work environment.
- someelephant 5y agoI agree. There are two sides here. Managers with mental health issues (ego / lack of empathy) will make their subordinates miserable. This point also makes me wonder if habitual burnouts are poor at evaluating potential managers during the interview process and as a result end up burning out repeatedly.
- elihu 5y agoBeing not very good at evaluating potential managers could be part of it, but also people with less work experience or fewer in-demand skills can't always afford to be choosy about their employer.
