Burnout and Expendable Employees - 'Things' Form the Absolute Bottom Line
Burnout and expendable employees - you can see the connection right away. If some organizational actions spoke, they would say: "employees are expendable, money is always of greater value than people" - This may be the most blatantly obvious posture or attitude that companies take.
Making money, saving money or the bottom line come first. Because profits need to go up and expenses need to go down, any bump along the road means employees will be gotten rid of first.
Employees are expendable. Employees are in the expense column. Employees are not seen as a strength, but as a necessary element, albeit too expensive, on the path to profit.
If you believe this is true of you, it produces stress and doesn't give much hope for what's ahead. You just never know if you will have a job tomorrow. It's a recipe for burnout.
