Notas do Editor
- Apologise for the animation
- about me: Brief History, Career This is quite a personal take on Burnout, there are other perspectives I have not been diagnosed with burnout, or sought medical help
- Lots of reasons NOT to do this talk. - CV This is important. I was surprised by how little I knew, wrong impressions
- Tech Books, Target Audience Coders, Team Mates, Team Leads, Managers, Family
- Objectivity: Decisions/Actions based on emotion Personal Experience, not clinical, not academic
- This is the end result, clinical description of the endgame
- The further we are along the road, the greater the risk of full collapse
- Burnout manifests itself in 3 ways (the components of burnout)
- How many have you got? Stories
- NOW who things they have burnout?
- Good day - Change Job, Bad Day - Change Career Insidious - Isn’t this just part of the job?
- Causes can differ, we each respond differently Internal/External element to all of the causes, can be imposed from outside, but often we impose them on ourselves.
- Job ambiguity Is the sustained pressure of Agile a recipe for burnout? Agile seems to deliver much that it claims to eliminate
- The Burnout Paradox, the best immunisation is not caring about your work.
- The Burnout Paradox, the best immunisation is not caring about your work. Good Programmers Leave (Here’s Why) Should this have implications for hiring?
- Best company I ever worked for in terms of Work/Life balance, was one of the most frustrating in terms of Burnout
- Life is tough enough for older developers, without burnout
- Take with a pinch of salt
- The biggest difference between a 20 year old and a 40 year old is responsibilities
- Finding the time to reboot
- frustration, procrastination => Databases procrastination => Act into a feeling, every day is a struggle Burnout magnifies tasks, arguing => estimates bad luck => memory on new machine
- I want to read Dickens. Why don’t I?
- Read less Uncle Bob, more Charles Dickens
- Putting people on a Pedestal Grace Hopper, Colleagues, Open Source Heroes
- My Biggest Fear
- The burnout/turnover cycle
- Treats one symptom
- Treats one cause
- Treats one effect
- Treats one symptom
- Throw the dice, probably change nothing, risk false positive, devalue CV
- Change has to mean CHANGE
- Eureka moment, talking to Sandra The last time you were happy at work
- Excellent, but be careful. Have a reason Would you be better served working on something close to work? Or getting away from tech entirely? What is the real motivation? Seeking the fulfilment that work doesn’t provide? Not wanting to work on something that won’t be used. Everything worthwhile has been done (not by you)
- Should be an escape, a distraction. Something else to focus on.
- “Deliberate Relaxation” Really Relax, music, yoga, meditate, sleep, massage.
- Canary in the coal mine for complexity, fragility, etc. LISTEN
- Retain existing staff, not just those with burnout. AVOID burnout in the future Attract new staff
- Who thinks they have Burnout?
