When We All Show Up Burned Out At Work

In March 2020, when the pandemic hit, Chris Smalls was an hourly worker at a warehouse in Staten Island. Today, he is the president of the Amazon Labor Union. In this episode, we learn about how working conditions can contribute to burnout in workplaces across America. We’ll also hear about what we can all do to redesign workplaces to avoid burnout.

Correction: A previous version of this episode had an incorrect statistic related to Amazon’s hiring pacing, which has since been removed.
