Reminds me of how antisocial behavior today is referred to as "narcissism". Like that, anything dysphoric about work life must be burnout.

The word "narcissism" has been weaponized as a form of slandering whoever you're after. It's closer to a new variant of "creepy," but now with 200% more Science™ behind it.
The word "burnout," hasn't suffered the same unfortunate fate, although there are those of us who are waiting for competition to declare that they have burned out so we can take their share of the profits etc. It's more of a self-inflicted wound.
Maybe they were referring to antisocial personality disorder, which is very different from anti-social behavior.
