Corporate culture has normalized exhaustion under the disguise of productivity. But, I refuse to accept that these things equate productivity anymore;

1. Always working and never having the time for equally important personal activities or time to connect with real people.
2. Not using up your leave. This isn’t productivity, it’s self-worth tied to work.
3. Working “every” weekends especially if it wasn’t in the original agreement. To me, it just feels like the need to prove yourself.
4. “Always” working very late into the night: If I always have to work late into the night because I think things might go wrong the next day, it doesn’t just show a lack of boundaries but also a lack of structure. If your work cannot survive at least a day or night of rest, then you’ve not built a sustainable system.
5. Working for 5 years or more in the same company with no clear career growth plans. This isn’t loyalty, it shows a lack of Value.

Burnout doesn’t signify high performance or productivity! There are better metrics to measure performance and level of productivity.
