I'm 28, and employ a 22 year old. Burnout is absolutely a huge thing (and definitely worse for the younger generations), but I'm not sure the burnt-out kids they interview realise exactly why they feel this way (if they did, they would fix the issues and move on).
At least from where I'm sitting, it seems like young people never switch off.
You come home from work, and rather than spending some alone time doing something you actually enjoy, young people will spend 2 hours projecting their "personal brand" on Insta or Discord, then another hour on the web finding out the latest things they're supposed to be outraged at or offended by. Then, it's time to watch a Twitch streamer, eat an unhealthy meal and before you know it it's midnight and time for sleep.
On the weekends, it's time to see your friends and family - which means exhausting, fake interactions designed primarily to "be seen". Brunch, clubs, experiences and attractions, all with the axe looming over your head that your social network could kick you to the turf if you're not keeping up on the treadmill.
The poor zoomers haven't had an actual day off (Sabbath) since the end of high school.
