Burnout in Tech: Is It a New Pandemic?
15:00 - 15:20, 20th of May (Wednesday) 2026 / Leaders
We might not like it, but our state is everything. If we're burned out, angry, upset, frustrated, or depressed, our companies, teams, and clients are becoming like that as well. Good news? We can get out of this realm of misery. Bad news? We need to actually do something about it. Endless workload, highly competitive global (and local) market, constant pressure to be up to date with tech, talent wars, not taking care of health, lack of time for people... It's a new reality. We can resent it or fight it. Our choice. During this speech, you'll see the newest research about the subject of burnout in tech with a Burnout IT Framework as a tool to end it. Once and for good. Inside?
- A map of burnout root causes with a personal / individual map for each participant
- A Burnout IT Framework, so what we can do about the mapped situation (our own and/or our team members)
- A step-by-step process of getting out of the burnout zone (or even better: prevent it from ever happening)
We are exhausted. Overworked, overstressed, we are getting sicker and sicker (mentally and physically). And burnout plays a huge role in this situation. If we don't do something meaningful about it, it's going to only get worse. It's about the time.
