    If you work in human or veterinary healthcare ,as I did, there is a whole different level of burnout happening! You can add secondary trauma stress and compassion fatigue to and already high stress workplace. You're dealing with emergencies, death, and others stress, grief, and emotional reactivenesss. You can't just walk out of a surgery or leave a patient when it's time to go home. By the time you do finally get home you have no emotional bandwidth left for yourself let alone your loved ones. We lose too many to suicide because of this.

    Healthcare shares this problem - the number of messages, conversations, and clicks that are required to do something simple like give a patient an aspirin is spiraling out of control.

    What a great clip, burnout is a very important thing. When he explains the constant email checking that clearly inhibits productivity, it’s really insane . Definitely makes no sense to constantly have to check them and not actually get anything accomplished.
    I also agree with poem if you enter into something with wholeheartedness no matter the difficulty , it could be cure to burnout. It seems nowadays, most people only give minimal effort to things .

    Great to hear you both speak on this in such articulate detail - the hardest part for me is being in this place and seeing outside of it, the deconstruct what is actually happening enough to solve it - then having enough bandwidth remaining to execute the solution - Interestingly this last few weeks, I took time out, while still delivering operational priorities, to solve my personal problem, and I did, only to find my boss was unhappy and didn't understand why I took the time out to solve it - he himself couldn't see it clearly enough to understand why it was needed

    In my experience, the endless meetings comes from middle and upper-middle management needing to create busywork for themselves and their underlings, in order to justify their existence at the given institution.

    This is a great critique on administrative fluff, but this is not burn out. There was a time in my life when meetings and emails were my only "rest stop" for the day. Burnout is when you're working 3 different jobs too afford your bills because you have no other choice. Burnout is when you have exhausted your physical and mental bandwidth to depletion and your brain and body put you in a time out.

      Which is why they began by specifying that they were discussing burnout among office workers. There are many other ways and lifestyle where the term can be applied.
      I hope things eventuality for better for you.

    I actually stopped the video when he was talking about using brain energy to just respond to email…and I was thinking how can AI be used in a way where it can Identify the thread of a conversation on Slack or email, and then just continue it without using our own brain energy for it or maybe something like Neuralink integrated with AI where you could work, and somehow answer email, for example, but just using your thoughts and the AI doing the boring work, writing that email etc, so you can focus on the actual work.

      so that's further down the rabbit hole. He's talking about meta work and using AI to do meta work is well..?. maybe we should try to use AI to reduce the GINI coefficent to zero across the planet-

    Admitting that the BS work doesn't make sense would put you on he chopping block. For example, I am a software engineer at large corporation. We have way too many people. Probably 50% can be laid off without any productivity loss. Try to bring it up to the manager and see what happens?

  • @pauleerhart1
    @pauleerhart1 Месяц назад

    In all honesty and no offense meant, this is really just scratching the surface about causes for burnouts. The true cause lies in all the negative/limiting beliefs that live in your unconscious mind, which have been build up during your lifetime (often originating in early childhood). As long as you don't transform these beliefs (via hypnosis), burnout is just around any corner. Independent of work culture, or other external factors. The latter are NEVER the root cause of burnout, it's the stories you tell yourself. Not allowing yourself to respect your boundaries, desperately trying to meet other people's expectations in order to get 'approval' (i'm good enough), etc etc.
    As long as you seek self-approval outside yourself and not truly transform your beliefs, you'll never be free. I've been in a very heavy burnout and dealt with a shitload of limiting beliefs. 5 years later, I'm a completely different person, feeling truly free to live my life according to my own desires. Thanks to hypnosis, done by someone who actually knows what she's doing. But as hypnosis is not in the interest of the 'healthcare industry', it will always be set aside as a fairytale. So unfair, but that's what the collective conscious has been learned to belief.
    I could talk for hours on this subject. Feel free to reach out. Kind regards, Paul
