A Harvard Business Review article maintains that burned out employees are the product of bad work environments, not bad employees. The top 5 reasons cited for burnout in a Gallup survey are:

@cfor+19WIIeHG - And none of them care. Don't care what happens to others, don't care what anyone thinks about them. No matter what happens, they know they are better than everyone else.
Cote was NEVER Jack Welch's protégé! He was a low level peon running GE's loser Appliances Division in Kentucky, while the "final three" were being evaluated by Jack for the top slot.
The top three were - Jeff "Honey I k–led the stock" Immelt, Jim "737MAX" McNerney, and Robert "Fiat" Nardelli. Three total losers, that only Jack could love, but none can beat Nardelli for tanking two companies while drawing millions in salary and bonuses. Nardi got the top spot at Home Depot and dropped them below Lowes using his "on crack" management style. Nardi then went on to turn a Dodge Viper into a FIAT. While that's bad, unfortunately more died as a result of McNerney being the first non-aviation person to ever run Boeing... and it came shining for the world to see through his unprecedented 737MAX debacle.
Cote, Cote, Modi, Cote, Cote, Modi, Cote, H1B, Knowledge Transfer, H1B, Cote, Modi, HIPAC, sing it now......

I didnt like "You want loyalty, get a dog" Cote AKA the Big FATSO!
If you read that article you will see that Neutron Jack took a shine to Cote because "he refused to say anything negative about those above him". In other words, Cote is just another brown nose who turned that into an art form in order to climb the corporate ranks. Well done, fatso.
That 2012 article is the real Honeywell.
Required reading for every new employee in the US.
All about labor cost. Every VP has a spreadsheet showing how they will lower the “blended” labor rate. Each year the target gets lower and it is hovering around half of what an average US employee makes today.
Path forward is automation and a massive drop in employees including those in India. Only way to make the numbers.
The Cote piece presents quite a revolting picture.
Sounds like my job description.
Harvard business review is an opinion magazine.
Harvard Business School says employees are costs of doing business no different than a forklift.
I always thought this article does a good job of pinning the origins of Honeywell’s current culture.
Make sure you read the very last paragraph.
