Curious if people have tried to estimate the cost of burnout.
The things I think we should care about, but without numbers or estimates:
How much directly the burnout reduce productivity?
E.g. 6-12 months on average, the longer the grind the longer the burnout
The long-term reduction in total max capacity over time or something
lets say you had 60K hours before burnout, after you have like 40K because you just can’t work as hard.
How much does burnout increase the likelihood the person doesn’t puruse high impact career (i.e. leaves direct work roles)
What effect does burnout of a person have on their EA network (e.g. their colleagues, friends etc.?)
E.g. if they’re on a team, it could marginally increase the chance other team members burn out because they now have more work (+ creating a negative associations to work)
e.g. their friends & local community might have a more negative view of the community as one where your friends burnout
