It is (not) surprising that the BCG (A Global Consulting Firm) made a publication about burnout and tunneled in on inclusivity.

There are other aspects that contribute heavily to burnout and employee morale, the elephant in the room is the massive layoffs and the lack of promotions[0]. Consulting firms are affected by this a lot.

If you cut down most of your workforce, or give no “rewards” for the ones who worked their ass off your revenue, of course there will be burn out, depression, and all other things that would make one stop working.
