Workplace burnout isn't your fault. You only think it is because your job convinced you that their broken system is your personal responsibility. Stop telling yourself you just need to manage your time better.

Here's the thing. Someone has to do the quiet coordination. The error prevention. The tasks that keep things from falling apart.

But when you do it perfectly, success erases its own proof. They don't track your effort. They just see the metrics holding up.

You're not exhausted because you're weak. You're running on empty because you're working a second, unrecorded job just to make your official job possible. Your burnout is the only honest record of what it actually takes to run this place.

What's the invisible work you do every day that no one notices? Drop it below. Save this to remind yourself: the problem is the structure, not you.
