I run my own small business. I complained to my boss about burnout, but it was me, so I'm fucked. ;)
This is what I told my friends and family when I started my business. I had just left a very toxic workplace that was full of verbal and emotional abuse at the very top. I said now when my boss yells at me I can tell them to fuck off and I won't get fired for it!
My workplace recently started doing a "Path to the Weekend" initiative. This is a mandatory meeting held at 5pm on a Friday for an hour about every month, where we have to have extroverted style discussions such as "tell us about 2 new things you accomplished in your personal life since the last meeting.".
It's hell.
I didn't read the article, but from my experience, if you're inundated by workload then you won't have time for extracurriculars.
