I disagree. It's obvious when the whole workplace complains about the workload, morale is low, bitching is high. It's also obvious that some people may handle high stress, but it doesn't mean everyone else should. It's obvious when people are asking for reasonable things, like less meetings in a term that don't do anything to enhance performance or culture.
I hope you aren't implying I used my burnout as a crutch or excuse. I don't think most people do - burnout is very real and documented, not just some one not handling an ordinary work environment because they're weak.
Have you ever thought that a lot of the pointless admin tasks and meetings are actually created by other people who are trying to protect themselves?
Of course. There's 500 staff at my school resentfully looking at people in exec positions earning twice as much to give everyone else more work to do to justify their positions.
Not acting on emails? Perhaps in your line of work, but I don't see that here. There's nothing more insulting that getting an email and then having a meeting that goes over the email. That's just stupid beyond belief, like reading from PowerPoints.
I don't know Taraz, we are probably speaking from totally different experiences in different workplaces and different cultures. Perhaps sweeping statements about workplaces and burn outs and solutions aren't where it's at.
