It's one of the most vicious things about depression actually. You feel depressed/burnt out so you move less, moving less makes you feel more depressed, so you move less.

Exercise is one of the best things to combat the low feelings, but combatting the low feelings can feel physically impossible.

Jobs should have built in exercise schedules. You won't get your bonus if you don't get a 15 minute walk in every 3-4 hours! It would honestly do a ton for productivity and overall happiness. And yet we all sit here scratching our heads as if there is no answer to what causes depression and burnout.

Big cooperations don’t give a shit if their wage slaves get burnout and depressed. They’re to busy figuring out ways to offer less benefits and less pay for more work.

Fully agree... It just so happens that preventing burnout would be a money-saver long-term. But we all know those fucks can't see past the closest quarterly earnings.

I'd encourage you to join a union and make that argument to your union rep
