The stories we often see about burnout in tech are interesting. There’s a lot about burning out of programming etc, the hours. Of course, long hours will eventually burn you out in most any profession. Less commonly discussed, it seems like most people I know actually burn out from bureaucracy. It’s far more exhausting and demotivating to not make forward progress and waste time in meetings all day. Of course, it should go without saying that some meetings are necessary.
