Burnout Isn’t a Personal Failure – It’s a Systemic Sh*tshow with Cassandra Babilya
Manage episode 467369848 series 3550613
Burnout isn’t a personal failure—it’s a systemic problem.
Ever been told to do more with less? Yeah, us too. And we’re calling bullshit.
In this episode of The Elephant in the Org, Danny, Marion, and Cacha sit down with the one and only Cassandra Babilya, creator of Make Work Suck Less, career coach, employee experience leader, and oh yeah—ex-spy (which is possibly the coolest career pivot ever).
🔥 We break down the burnout math behind why your workload keeps increasing while your headcount shrinks.
🔥 We expose how toxic performance reviews and forced rankings keep companies running their people into the ground.
🔥 We dig into why so many people feel trapped in jobs that are killing them—and what to do about it.
Cassandra brings the receipts on how burnout works, how companies create it (spoiler: it’s not accidental), and what needs to change. Whether you're a leader looking to break the cycle or an employee wondering why you feel like absolute garbage by Thursday, this episode is a must-listen.
