With WFH becoming the norm, burn out has been a large discussion as of late. 2 years into WFH culture and some people are experiencing burn out. but why? Burn out was well around before the pandemic and WFH being a norm. With the rise of communication tools and social media, you are hearing a lot more people speaking their mind.

We as engineers decided we should discuss this topic and how it has effected us without even knowing! From poor decision making to just mindlessly staring at the wall. We have experienced many different types of burn out. Through out the years, we figured out ways to over come it. We are not just talking about taking vacation, because let's be honest going on vacation can be even more stressful for some (dare I say a type of burn out scared to take vacation). Sit back and enjoy. We hope this topic resonates with all of you!
