Combating Workplace Stress: Burnout, Mental Health, and Self-Care
The kind of culture that we live in it usually rewards you for working too hard, working to the point that you are breaking your back (Narayana Murthy comes to mind)
Interestingly, it’s not just how employees are treated but also the belief that exhaustion means you’re working hard enough.
The intention is all in the right places, desire to excel, to achieve, desire to have a good image, but then there is this hidden insecurity that makes you take on more than you can handle and at other times you are forced into it. Burnout slowly creeps in.
