Canceling personal commitments for work has become a form of humblebragging, showcasing dedication but reinforcing a damaging culture. This results in workplaces that reward exhaustion instead of productivity, contributing to widespread employee burnout. According to Gallup, many employees feel emotionally detached or miserable at work, highlighting a crisis rather than high performance. To thrive, individuals must stop glorifying overextension and learn to celebrate balance instead of sacrifice, promoting sustainability and healthy workplace practices.
Casually mentioning canceling a doctor's appointment or skipping something personal to take on more work has become the new humblebrag. These aren't just updates, but quiet auditions for 'Most Dedicated Employee.'
