I feel as though I cannot logout without guilt. Some workplaces foster this mentality but all I see this is doing is causing burnout. Do you experience this at your workplace today?

Not currently, but I have had that happen. It was more self-inflicted than anything, I won’t say it was fostered by the workplace, but definitely not discouraged either. Once I did start hitting those burnout periods, something had to change and realizing that work shouldn’t be 24/7 on my mind was the first.

I see. Thank you for the feedback!

What you are describing is an "addiction to work." Like any addiction, the first thing you have to do is recognize there is a problem and that YOU are the problem. Yes, the company may "foster this mentality" indirectly. If they are stupid enough to put their unreasonable and illegal demands in writing or spoken before reliable witnesses, enjoy your new villa in the Caribbean. They won't do that. You are paid to do a job and reach reasonable and measurable results. If it takes you 60 hours to do what it takes your coworkers only 40 to achieve, that is also on you. If you hit those marks at 40 hours but feel compelled and obsessed to go the extra 10 miles on your own dime, don't blame the company. They may line the cocaine up on the mirror, but you don't have to snort it.

I like that!

Does anyone here get paid more for working more? I don't. Log out time arrives, work no longer exists to me. But I have coworkers that go above and beyond and yes burnout catches up with them.

I don’t either.
