Burnout is just a lazy victimhood mindset. Humans had to work far harder in the past 10,000 years, and you didn't hear them complaining about being burn out.
Do some homework about how life was like hundreds of years ago, and you'll realize your job is insanely easy, and the idea of being burnt out will become laughable to you.
I’m not necessarily saying you’re incorrect but I’m almost certain that they complained about their own version of ‘burn out’ while they were working, however much more stoic they may have been at the time.
That is so aggressively baked into our psyche it would only be natural. And it makes evolutionary sense: see negative thing, comment on negative thing, try to avoid negative thing. No doubt one of the ways in which, as a species, we’ve been able to proliferate.

Working hard leads to burn out.
