Good point. Thanks.

Thanks for the thoughtful reply! Really helpful. The NGO sounds interesting. I read about a company like that that used pouchdb...wonder if it's the same one.

Thanks. I'm worried about asking for a favor like that from my boss and coming back only to quit. And I'm worried that they'll misunderstand the term "burnout" and it will limit my options for returning one day in the future. What do you think?

Thank you!

I haven't asked for an extended holiday. I'm worried about making such a big ask of my boss (our culture is not very progressive) and then coming back only to quit. What do you think?

Great list! Several of those resonate with me. Thank you. I've been able to isolate the things I love about my job, and the things that contribute to my burnout. I can make changes to influence them (not completely change them), but I'm not sure I have the drive to anymore :-/

Thanks, I enjoyed the episode.

Thanks. Were you worried you'd come back and quit after making such a big ask of 3 months off?

Interesting how many comments and articles I've seen like this. I haven't seen a comment or article saying they took the leap and regretted it. Does that mean no one ever regrets it, or those comments/articles just don't get upvoted? :P

Thanks. How long was your vacation, and how burned out were you before it?

Thanks. Don't you worry about asking for such a favor from your boss and then coming back only to quit?

Interesting point. I love working on coding side projects, but I can see how that's exercising the same tapped-out muscle. Thanks.

Wow, that sounds like an incredible trip! Thanks for taking the time to reply.
