There were a few comments here throwing shade at the findings and also people who said that software developers are burning out way more than other occupations.

There were a few comments here throwing shade at the findings and also people who said that software developers are burning out way more than other occupations. I can't speak for this study in question, but the WHO did classify burnout as an occupational phenomenon a couple of years ago [1] and our own research (I work for Asana and we yearly survey 10K+ knowledge workers) suggests that indeed between 70-80% of knowledge workers in general experience burnout two or more times a year! Sad really. I've experienced it quite severely a long time ago and it can truly rock your world and take a very long time to recover from.
