S2Ep10 - Burnout Banter - Burnout Horror Stories

Burnout Banter

It's that time of year again – our annual October episode where we bring you the real, raw burnout horror stories straight from the world of AEC professionals in the construction industry. These aren’t just tales of tough deadlines or high-stakes projects; these are stories of relentless pressure, unchecked workloads, and toxic cultures that left lasting impacts on those who lived through them.

From proposal managers stretched beyond their limits to misdiagnoses caused by stress, and from fresh talent burdened by unrealistic expectations to teams pulling all-nighters to meet impossible demands – each story sheds light on the very real consequences of burnout. Join Jeff and Rachelle as they read through these submissions, sharing insights, reflections, and a bit of that Burnout Banter spirit.

Listener discretion advised: while we keep it lighthearted, there’s nothing fun about the experiences shared with us.

Join us monthly on Burnout Banter as we showcase and share the stories and insights of marketing professionals and teams in the construction industry. We aim to shed light on issues such as miscommunication and burnout. Please email us any burning questions you would like us to answer at [e-mail]
