How to build an anti-burnout tech organization
summary
Claim: burnout is systemic not personal and it costs productivity, turnover and lost tribal knowledge. The concrete response is a five-step framework—commit publicly, measure (use anonymous surveys, listening groups and exit interviews), make a prioritized game plan, act on incentives and manager accountabilities, then monitor and repeat. Tactical fixes include defragged calendars, async/bursty communication, comp time and runbooks for on-call; research-backed risk group: highly conscientious, empathetic, ambitious staff are most likely to burn out.
