I think that's a little too much victim blaming. It's true that some people are more susceptible to burn out. But having been in the workplace for almost 30 years now (ouch!) I think the modern work environment is much more set up to take advantage of people than it used. When I started out, working times were pretty fixed and once you were home you were home and no work was done. These days you have to make an effort to disconnect from work in the evening and in many companies there is a lot of subtle pressure to constantly respond to E-mails or other messages, even during nights and vacation. So yes, people should resist more but the system is more and more stacked up to take advantage of people's weaknesses. And blaming it on the employees is the same strategy fast food or tobacco companies are using. Yes, you can resist but you are up against a lot of well paid people who constantly try to hack your psychology to make you do the things they want you to do, even if it's harmful to you.
