I disagree that this is universally true. I have had at least 2 bosses that I know would help deal with burnout because 1 of them helped me and the other I have seen help others in this same situation. A good boss cares about their employee's health and wants to keep good workers. I agree that your advice is the safe route, but I think if you know for a fact you have one of the good bosses of the world then that approach can lead to better results.

Ditto. Bosses vary. Don't take blanket advice like "the boss is evil".

The other part of the advice, namely that your colleagues will backstab you, is even more worrisome. I'd go so far as to say that if you don't have at least some colleagues you can safely tell something like this, then you are in the wrong environment.
