57% of Tech Workers Are Suffering From Job Burnout
A survey of tech workers, including many at Silicon Valley's elite tech companies, reveals that over 57% of respondents are suffering from job burnout.
Over 11,000 employees at top tech companies responded to a survey carried out by a team at Blind, which makes a work conditions review app. According to Blind, 57.16% of respondents said they are currently suffering from occupational burnout.
The company with the highest employee burnout rate was Credit Karma, with a whopping 70.73%, followed by Twitch (68.75%), Nvidia (65.38%), Expedia (65.00%), and Oath (63.03%).
The Blind team warns that if companies ignore the survey's results, the presence of work burnout could lead to health issues among employee, such as insomnia, depression, substance abuse, and coronary heart disease, which could incur additional healthcare-related expenses and diminish the workforce's productivity.
Furthermore, burnout is often a first sign that employees might soon decide on another career path and leave the company.
