Burnout. Love it or hate it?

This might be a bit of a controversial take, but every time I see a burnout post here, or hear about someone in my work thats out for a year due to it I get a bit of an uneasy feeling and I don't know if I should feel bad about it.

And that's because I've seen real burnout, I come from a not so "developed" country in terms of workers rights, and I've seen my mom pass out while driving to work and drive into a building. Thankfully she was OK and no one got hurt but that was a devestating thing to experience for her and for our family.

Now you can say that's why burnout leave exists, to prevent things like this from happening and I agree, but that happened only after 30 straight years of work and simultaneously raising 3 children in poverty with no support.

So I dont know, when I hear people who've been in the work force for less than 10 years having these stories and being out for years, I find it hard to feel bad for them sometimes. So tell me, I'm I an asshole, or have we gotten so comfortable living in the best working conditions and grown unappreciative of our privileges?
