My website was complaining about my out-of-date PHP last week. I confessed to my service providers and they fixed it in a few hours without โ€œyou absolute dummyโ€ vibes.

Caregivers, how do you combat the daily stress? Weโ€™re often so focused on caring for others that we forget our own needs. Share your go-to stress relief techniques. Letโ€™s turn this into a resource for each otherโ€”because even the best caregivers deserve care! #CaregiverSupport

This is a bit misleading. These arenโ€™t what burnout *is*, they are the six most common *causes* of burnout as described by Maslach and Leiter. A person can be burned out by any one or a combination (as well as by other things not on the list).

But yes, all situational/systemic problems.

Shills for the corporation stated using โ€œquiet quittingโ€ to shame workers for only doing what theyโ€™re paid to do. Now theyโ€™ve coined the phrase โ€œmicro-retirementโ€ to shame workers for taking vacations.

I expect weโ€™re soon to be told that cashing our paycheck is โ€œsoft stealingโ€.

The twisting dial/knob is actually a brilliant device. It allows us to transition smoothly between fine and large movements with tremendous control. Itโ€™s dumb as hell that within a handful of years weโ€™ve gone from having them everywhere to having almost no devices that use them.
