Thing is that may not depend on you.
I did this but I was surrounded by coworkers who were stupidly running straight into burnout themselves and said yes to anything.
Well, upper management felt I wasn’t doing enough in comparison and pressured/harassed me. Ultimately, I were the first to burn out.
Of course, in hindsight, I should have left way before it happened, but when you are in, you have no hindsight. Sometimes you can’t grab the surrounding toxicity before being hurt.
