Burnout in UX is often the result of chaotic work environments rather than workload alone, stemming from tight deadlines, messy feedback loops, and unclear roles.
Burnout isn't solved with a meditation app or team pizza; it stems from deeper issues regarding team operations and work culture.
Positive feedback and clear direction are essential in design; otherwise, messy feedback loops drain energy and creativity, leading to burnout.
Burnout often manifests as emotional disconnection from work, deteriorating motivation, and self-doubt among talented designers in unsupportive environments.
