As someone who has worked hard for years (at some point I had three con-concurrent jobs), I’m not sure working hard is the variable that causes burnout :thinking_face:

I will say tho, it gave me persistent back problems and RSI for two years :). But that again is not just “working hard”. It was bad posture, lack of stretching, breaks and exercise, I think.

Edit: Perhaps it’s the nature of the work or working hard unhealthily (physical and mental?) or the person’s characteristics.

I remember hearing about burnout, that it becomes more likely to happen the less meaningful work you do.

Not sure about that.

What's the equivalent of "victim blaming" for sick people?

Because this is that.
