Hi there,
TINYpulse’s current homepage features this claim:
Measure how happy, frustrated, or burnt-out your employees are.
Before I started working here, I didn’t really have a concept of what “burnout” was. I thought, well, some people like their jobs, some people find their jobs soul-sucking, and that if people are dreading going to work, there’s not much to be done.
I’m a little more enlightened now - and since you’re getting this newsletter, you probably are too. Burnout is a reality, and it’s bad news for everyone involved. I’m glad we’re starting to take it seriously.
Sending this during the (Northern Hemisphere) summer feels appropriate; I know I’ll get a lot of out-of-office replies, and I hope that those recipients can delete or archive this message. Lots of these pieces talk about how important it is to take breaks and set boundaries.
Let me issue a little content warning about the very first link, the Financial Times story on “the trillion-dollar taboo”; there are mentions of (though no graphic depictions) of suicide.
Take care of you,
Tyler
