If you’ve ever rebooted the server at 3am, smiled through an exec demo where the Wi-Fi chose violence, or answered “I’m fine” at a speed that would impress a hostage negotiator — this book was written for you.
Burned Out by Design? is part insider confession, part survival guide, and part the funniest book about professional suffering you’ll ever read. Written by veteran IT leader Rich Owen, it finally says the things the industry whispers but never puts in writing.
What’s inside:
Why on-call culture creates adrenaline addiction, not resilience
How perfectionism and imposter syndrome quietly eat IT professionals alive
The real cost of always being the one who knows
Practical strategies for setting boundaries without torching your career
The funniest, most painfully accurate descriptions of meetings, ticket queues and change requests ever committed to paper
Plus: a Burnout Self-Assessment, a ready-to-send Letter to Your Manager, and real anonymous stories from IT professionals who asked to remain unnamed — which tells you everything.
Available on Amazon — Kindle £5.99 | Paperback £9.99
