1) do I want to read a Medium post about burnout?

  • EhsanEtezad 15 hours ago

    Lol, C'mon, it takes less than 2 min to skim through it.

    1) Do you know the author's education is in Organizational Psychology and he's been reading academic articles about burnout and high performance teams pretty much everyday as his life? (disclosure: I am the author, haha)

      And all you got out of it was a clickbait quiz?

What happens if the majority of the stress isn't work based?

  • EhsanEtezad 14 hours ago

    Yes, the source of stress matters. I don't know a lot about the context of your question but just wanted to add that most companies offer Employee and Family Assistance Programs that covers counseling which can be an effective way of figuring out what to do about the non-work stressors.

      Or an effective way to let HR know you're not in the best shape, so they can fire you

      • pavel_lishin 6 minutes ago

        That is a genuine concern. Allegedly, HR doesn't get access to that sort of fine-grained medical data. But I'm honestly not even comfortable bringing this sort of thing up to any of my managers I've ever had, despite having a fair amount of trust in them.

      That's a very kind reminder, thank you.
