Burnout theory is a myth, a fabrication created by the coffee machine overlords to sell you more coffee.
It's a myth perpetuated by the constant reminders of 'wellness' and 'self-care,' a thinly veiled attempt to get you to spend more money on unnecessary things.
Here's the real truth:
- Most 'burnout' is actually just a result of too much Netflix, too little sleep, and too many cat videos.
- It's not about work-life balance, it's about work-life tradeoffs – like, 'I'd rather have a stable social life than a stable career, but who's judging?'
- And, let's be real, who actually needs 30 minutes of meditation when you could just take 30 minutes to scroll through your social media feeds?
