Burnout often stems from a lack of purpose and agency, not just workload. Empowering teams with meaningful tasks and autonomy fosters motivation and connection to their work.
I think the “difficult to please managers” speaks to me. I’m a top performing engineer and I had no problems leading the pack until I had a new manager forced on me who was very much a “suit” type. He views the team as numbers and everything can be solved by “throwing more bodies at it”
Thankfully I got promoted to a new team but yes there are many causes for burnout
