@polotek Yup, it’s the ONLY place where we are comfortable with investing in people as a country. Even if minimally so. There are so many other ways we could do this if we were comfortable doing things for peoples well-being as a society.

@polotek ("Marco Rogers") replied to a tweet by @polotek:

I talked at length about my battle with burnout. And it started before the pandemic. This thread may be helpful to some people. And I hope it shows that I’m coming at this as somebody who’s been through it. That’s part of why I feel equipped to speak on it.

Some things I have done during this 18 month period:
- Start regular therapy
- Set strict boundaries on work hours
- Actively reduce other stressors in my life
- Work on my poor sleeping habits (still a work in progress)
- Spend time healing and repairing important relationships

@polotek ("Marco Rogers") replied to a tweet by @polotek:

There are things an employer might do to make things a bit easier on people. And they should. But if you find that you don’t get better, and you blame your employer for not doing more, you still haven’t accepted the scope of what’s happening. That’s just not what this is.

@polotek ("Marco Rogers") replied to a tweet by @polotek:

There are so many things weighing on us right now. And that is coupled with the fact that restrictions on public life mean it’s so much harder to do the things that usually replenish our energy. There are so many more factors contributing this burnout than work.

@polotek ("Marco Rogers") replied to a tweet by @polotek:

But I do think we have to understand when the problem we’re facing has gone beyond that conversation. When I have to send my daughter to school unvaccinated, that’s not something my company can do anything about. When I haven’t seen my loved ones in 2 years, they can’t fix that.

@polotek ("Marco Rogers") replied to a tweet by @polotek:

We were doing a pretty good job creating a real conversation about burnout. Many companies now acknowledge the problem and are taking real steps to address it. Of course there are many companies that don’t. But it’s possible to work at a company that takes burnout seriously.

@polotek ("Marco Rogers") replied to a tweet by @polotek:

But my suggestion that employers can’t fix what we’re currently going through is firmly rooted in the pandemic environment we’ve been in for the past 2 years. I’m saying that I believe pandemic burnout is a specific thing that has greatly exacerbated many of these problems.

@polotek ("Marco Rogers") replied to a tweet by @polotek:

I got some important questions about this, and I think it’s worth working a little harder to set context. Burnout is a thing. It was a thing before the pandemic. And I think we are all coming to understand more of the ways that work is the primary driver of burnout.

There are very concrete reasons that anyone who criticizes this shit on twitter has had to then block 100s of obnoxious grifters and dupes that show up in their mentions: because they are fully supported by and feel welcome on this site. Their interests are aligned.

@EricaJoy Burnout takes months to work through but PTO is the only tool most EMs have available. Few have sabbaticals, usually unpaid, forcing folks to trade one stressor for another. Broadly I don’t think we have the tools to help folks. I think that’s a factor of the great resignation.
