Being in a job you deeply care about but had no autonomy to bring about change.

Quickest way to burn out?
Being in a job you deeply care about but had no autonomy to bring about change.

I have lots of thoughts on this topic. 
People often associate burnout with overwork and it's such a narrow lens to examine a much deeper and complex issue.

Burn out doesn't always look like drowning in work till you've no energy left.
Sometimes it looks being stuck in a toxic workplace, not learning anything new, unproductivity, slowly chipping away at your sense of self-worth draining you completely.

The shortest road to burn out passes through bad manager(s).
A good manager always finds away of ensuring an employee feels their value/contribution as important for the success of the team/company.
If the management is poor the employee needs to learn to ‘manager their manager’, find ways to become the influence within the managers decisions, negotiate and stop being so agreeable.
