Les gens qui ont fait un burnout ou ont un proche qui en a fait un,
comment vous distinguez les signes avant-coureurs d'une période un peu plus difficile que les autres ? Est-ce qu'il y a des trucs qu'on voit pas sur le moment et où avec le recul vous vous dites : ça aurait dû m'alerter ?
Le repouet fait passer de meilleures vacances.
“Quiet cracking” is a funny way of saying “over-exploited”.
Employers as a whole are now exploiting and extracting (i.e. stealing) so much value from labor—and demonstrating that they only want to devalue labor even more—that laborers no longer think the commercial exchange is worth their time and attention, so they disengage.
Focusing too much on laborers to help them cope or deal is a band-aid; this is a systemic breaking point, and we can’t all outrun the system. Focus on changing the system.

Well this hit home a little too hard. Not feeling valued definitely fed my #burnout

I’ve been hearing from a lot of friends in the software industry about #burnout these days. Here’s something you need to remember: you cannot survive poor management. There’s nothing you can do to rescue your project from the poor strategic decisions of those higher up the management chain. Stop blaming yourself. Plan accordingly.
If you’re an IC, do not overwork, especially if it’s for more than a few weeks. You will sacrifice your health and your future well-being when you do, and you’ll encourage your employers to give you the same treatment next time around. This is especially important to do when you’re a senior engineer, so you become an example to the less confident junior devs. Use your privilege to protect your teammates.
If you’re a manager, it’s your job to protect your reports from abuse from above, and to accurately and honestly report what your team is capable of delivering without killing themselves, and to refuse pressure to overwork.

![Entourée de ses collègues en costard, Clara se rend en salle de réu en soupirant : « Cette réunion me stresse d’avance. » Jean-No, vieux jeune cadre dynamique, lui met la patte sur l’épaule dans un sourire ridé : « Allons, tu es une adulte responsable Clara, tu sauras faire ce qu’il faut ! » Dans la dernière case, on voit Clara sur un cheval qui galope en bord de mer au soleil couchant. Elle a un grand sourire et crie « wéééé » en faisant l’avion. Ses dossiers volent derrière elle. Elle a fait ce qu’il faut.
