Then why is there so much burnout and is that not a form of harm?
- LinuxBender 4y agoI believe they were considering the physical aspect of tech. The physical aspect doesn't usually catch up to people until they are much older and have not been taking care of themselves and not taking "walking breaks" and have been sitting all day, staring at screens and eating from the snack foods in the break room. It caught up to me and I made significant changes in my life. Exceptions of course would be if you are Datacenter Operations or if you have to move PC's around all day. That can as difficult as a warehouse worker if the management team do not give you the right tools and enough breaks. Every company that has humans likely has some management structure and coworkers and all of those environments can wind someone up and burn them out. Company culture and ethics are a big part of it. Changing a culture in a company is not usually possible and that is why folks will usually leave to find what they perceive to be greener pastures.
