  • Look for another job.

    Companies like that are very unlikely to change their view that engineering’s quality and sustainability practices are a perpetual waste of money.

    That, and product doesn’t know what they’re doing, and they’re okay with making engineering also suffer for it.

    Nor do they care in practice about the engineers getting burned out.

    After you leave, when you glance back at the company at any time for the next 5+ years, you will see that they have learned pretty much nothing.

    I’ve been burned out once, and I’ll never let it happen to me again, or anyone I work with. It’s like depression; it’s an indescribable experience.

    Here’s one self-test to measure how burned out you are: https://www.peoplestorming.com/burnout-assessment.
