My thoughts are that it sucks and should be avoidable. People burn out when they are tasked with too much work. Hiring an adequate number of staff will almost always fix this problem, but too many employers are reluctant to do it because higher headcount = higher expenses = less profitability.
What was the book? I think it’s great that it’s being addressed more and given a name, still a long way to go. Most companies aren’t going out of their way to make sure employees don’t burn out, so it’s very much up to us to recognize it and how to help ourselves.
