Seems like today’s theme is burnout so it seemed appropriate for this week’s Fun Friday to be this funny burnout video from Dr. Glaucomflecken which includes a bit of a surprising cameo from the Surgeon General. Check it out below:

Not bad for a government worker. He almost got it. Plus, the end is great. What’s amazing is this video and the Surgeon General’s message has over a million views on Twitter alone (not sure about TikTok, etc). That’s a powerful platform right there.
Dr. Glaucomflecken offered this comment about the video and the need for real change:
Thanks for all the comments about the latest video on burnout. I agree that words ultimately don’t mean much without real change. I also think the right people are listening. So keep making noise & I’ll keep doing what I can in the form of comedy videos with zero production value

We’ve got a serious work crisis on our hands. I’m seeing it crop up everywhere. It’s going to take everyone’s effort to improve the situation.
Have a great weekend!
