Burnout in the workplace is a growing concern as more and more employees are feeling overwhelmed and exhausted by the demands of their jobs. Burnout can manifest in a variety of ways, including physical and emotional fatigue, lack of motivation, and difficulty concentrating. It can also lead to decreased productivity, increased absenteeism, and a higher risk of mental health issues, in addition to high costs to the companies these employees work for. Burnout is more common in IT professionals due to a combination of factors, such as a lack of work-life balance, lack of recognition, inadequate compensation, and lack of autonomy.
