    Burnout is built on the idea that if we skip a meal and work more hours, we might finally get ahead.

    Not coincidentally, the worst jobs tend to be the ones that ask you to do just this on a regular basis.

      Healthcare. So many of my friends working in healthcare are so profoundly burned out. Skipping meals and breaks because they have too many patients or that’s the only time they can do charting, coming in early and staying late to prep or chart or care for patients (because there are more patients than time to care for them).

      When your staff is routinely getting urinary stones or urinary infections because they don’t have time to get a drink of water or go pee, something ain’t right.
