When burnout becomes the culture the workplace becomes a huge red flag for me! Long hours, constant urgency, exhaustion treated like dedication. At what point does “hardworking” just become unhealthy?

Companies that borrow the "grind all the time" mentality from startup culture should be avoided. It's a callow attitude that doesn't produce good results anyway. It's really just a way for managers to act like tough guys, when it's abundantly obvious they are nerds whose mothers never let them play outside.

That’s so true

I relate to this a lot. When exhaustion is praised and urgency never turns off, it stops being about hard work and starts being about survival. For me, that line was crossed when rest felt like failure instead of necessary. I’m interested in how others recognized that tipping point too.

Sorry to hear

Happens all the time

The overworking and underpayment! No real recognition of achievements or work!

I’m having trouble working in Tax. I’m overwhelmed and am feeling like I’m not producing my best work. I want to talk to someone at work about it but a) I don’t know who to go to and b) feel like it’s not worth it because there’s nothing that anyone can do but tell me to get a different job. I feel like I SHOULD say something to someone though, right? Idk. I’ve been on the job hunt for a while now and am not really having any luck, which is just adding to my despair. What should I do?
