It depends on what you mean with it. In the end an organisation is made out of people, and yeah people are then naturally the problem. It sounds like you get into conflicts sooner or later, and this is what gets to you. I've also people been slowly suffocated by non-conflict, so it's not always the assholes. Often burn-out, from what I've personally seen is mostly the pressure people put on themselves. Although this is anecdotal. But back to you it could be you've been exclusively working in companies with high stress environment, for instance agencies. Stress brings out more anger in people. Out of the 6-7 teams i've worked in in the last decade, there were a few conflicts but none ended in it, and except for one all got resolved.
