You nailed it on the head! I think burn out is so persistent throughout all levels of American society. You just feel it everywhere. Almost nobody gives a fuck about their jobs anymore. The incentives encourage people to do just enough to not get fired and that’s about it. There’s no loyalty in either direction anymore and the only reward for doing a good job is even more work.
Everyone is becoming Peter from Office Space.
- kazen44 4y agois it really strange people become disenfranchised with their jobs when most american companies simply seem to only look at the bottom line, try to squeeze out every inch out of every person as much as possible without thinking long term. MBA culture also does not help build trust amongst those who do the actual work. When you are not appreciated because appreciation cannot be cast into a cost-benefit excel sheet and thus does not seem to have value, why should you care about your job? The same kind of thinking resulted in people losing a lot of agency in their jobs aswell, which results in people not having anything to be proud of, because every single step of their job has been turned into a finely tuned series of steps which require litte to no critical or creative thinking. But then i guess we can blame the industrial revolution for that aswell[0] [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_management https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_management
