Burnout: 'Sick and tired of feeling sick and tired'
A lot of companies are actively factoring this into their HR model.<p>Their model is to hire fresh people and burn them out.<p>Increasingly this is the direction western corporations are moving. Their ideal model is: place performance quotas above long term sustainability, people then burn themselves out, you then fire them for performance reasons, and you have them on an aggressive noncompete and threaten them with it when they try to work elsewhere after. Totally consume them. Basically institutionalised &quot;f--k you&quot;, gleefully chewing up other human beings.<p>In some ways we&#x27;re moving to something worse than slavery. At least with slaves they were seen as &quot;assets&quot; rather than &quot;temporary rentals&quot;. They had to take care of them out of necessity, so their evil had that limit on it.
