And it's important to do what you did: talk to someone about it that can do something about it. I have a friend who'll complain to me, not to the people he work

And it's important to do what you did: talk to someone about it that can do something about it. I have a friend who'll complain to me, not to the people he works with & for. He's too shy for that and rationalizes it as "they wouldn't understand/wouldn't want to change anything/couldn't even change" and suffers while the people who define the processes he suffers from don't know.
- tinsmith 4y agoIt should be pointed out that, for some of us, talking to someone and hoping for change is the only option. I don't know about anyone else, but I don't have that much PTO, and taking 3 weeks of unpaid leave would financially destroy me. Trust me, I wish it were different, and a lot of people in my position either have to suffer through the burnout, or often end up changing jobs to try to deal with it.

In a perfect world, any manager worth their money makes sure that people are comfortable speaking about their issues, but in reality that's often not the case and if you struggle with assertiveness it can get very hard.
