Navigating Mental Health in Tech Today
summary
Panelists share concrete claims and lived outcomes: stepped away from a top security role and began real recovery, persistent incident teams burn out after multiweek responses, and one content creator reports tens of millions of monthly views and years of lost sleep. Practical tactics include a 40‑hour workweek boundary, turning off notifications, mentoring and using tools like Six Types of Working Genius to map strengths. HR can help or weaponize disclosures. Video is captured on a locked unmanned camera with variable podium audio.
