this is so transparent, too
as much as $companies might say things like “take care of yourself, take PTO, and avoid burnout”; they’ll also immediately turn around & call any effort less than working oneself to death “quiet quitting”, and make it clear they expect more than that

this isn’t even a statement about particular employers — though a few of my past employers could prolly stand to be shamed — but rather about the exploitation culture that’s increasingly being created in industries like tech

increasingly thinking the idea of “burnout” exists to shift blame from employers to workers
“burnout” sounds like “she didn’t pace herself correctly, worked too hard, and burned out”, rather than “years of being mistreated by employers made it physically hurt to get things done”
