Burnout isn't about working too hard. Employees with one close friend at work are far more likely to love their job. At Mosaic, one staff member's only job is building community among employees, because loneliness, not difficulty, drives burnout.
Most people are burned out at work not because the job is hard, but because they have no friends. In fact, I think most of the studies show that people love their job if they have one good friend at work. And even in our community at Mosaic, one of the things I talk about all the time is, I mean, I have a person on our team whose entire responsibility is to make sure that everyone's living in community on the staff, and that's his principal job. Because I, I know that hard work can actually be exhilarating if you feel you have friends, and easy work can feel overwhelming if you're all alone. So I don't, you know, I mean, I don't know the whole dynamic, but I would say burnout has nothing to do with how hard the job is but how alone she feels.
