Q: Burnout is a sign of weakness
Oh really? Then why do all the cool kids at the startup get to wear their pajamas to work? Burnout is just a status symbol, baby! You're just jealous because you're stuck doing actual work while they're mainlining coffee and pretending to care about "wellness" and "work-life balance".
Q: Burnout is only for overachievers
Nope! Burnout is for anyone who's just trying to keep up appearances. It's like, "Oh, I'm a functioning member of society, I'm just resting my eyes for a sec, not actually collapsing under the weight of my own expectations".
Q: Burnout is a personal problem, not a societal issue
Uh, sure. That's why everyone's always talking about how they're "burning out" and it's just a personal thing, not a cultural phenomenon. No, it's a systemic issue, folks! We're all just a bunch of sleep-deprived, anxiety-ridden, productivity-obsessed hamsters on a wheel.
