Managers call it growth but employees experience burnout as vague stretch work becomes a trap

Managers call it growth but employees experience burnout as vague stretch work becomes a trap

In today’s workplaces, managers often label sudden extra workload as “a wonderful learning opportunity.” When expectations are vague and support is missing, Gallup research suggests employees quickly disengage, especially in overloaded or hostile environments.

Ex Amazon VP explains why bad bosses often survive and how complaints can backfire on you

Ex Amazon VP explains why bad bosses often survive and how complaints can backfire on you

Former Amazon VP Ethan Evans says companies don’t fire bad managers because leadership incentives discourage intervention. When employees complain, senior leaders often label them “overly sensitive,” avoiding the extra work that comes with fixing the problem—like replacing managers and absorbing added workload. The result: toxic leadership can persist, and even genuine complaints may be reframed against the person raising them.
