This index seems to indicate that people across all of tech have a good chance of suffering from burnout. We have a 42.1% chance of burning out apparently, which is pretty huge. It would be interesting to see the breakdown by age as well, as life stage changes as people get older and can affect their rate of burnout.
That means even if we jump jobs to get out of a toxic work environment, there's still a good possibility to get burned out at the new job. And with the rate of exhaustion being over 55% for both men and women, that means we have slightly less than a 50-50 chance of finding a good job that won't overwork us. And that assumes your work environment doesn't change (ie, your boss leaving, re-orgs, etc).
Maybe it's time we get together and just stop putting up with toxic environments, because it's pretty much prevalent. The only way to do that is to form solidarity with one another, and push back against the toxicity through a collective group.
