Thanks for talking about this topic.
A few years back I stumbled on this article from a Basecamp employee on burnout and I thought it was a very interesting take, because it made me realize that burnout can result from other things than being overworked.
> Two researchers — Christina Maslach and Michael P. Leiter — have done extensive work on the subject of occupational burnout. They describe six “mismatches” between employees and their jobs, which can lead to burnout. As you might expect, one of them is indeed “Work Overload”, but the one that spoke most strongly to me was “Lack of Control.”
