Most of us have heard about burnout. A state of physical and mental exhaustion caused by prolonged stress. Many employees have experienced this within the workplace. When an individual experiences burnout, others are quick to suggest they weren’t taking good enough care of themselves. Our question on this podcast is: could the reason behind such high rates of burnout be caused by betrayal? Many Employees have been betrayed by their employers. Individuals do not feel supported in the workplace. Many workers are expected to perform at unrealistic levels without necessary economic support (such as competitive wages, affordable childcare, paid leave, and cost-effective health insurance).
