Abstract: Several years ago, burnout was discussed in relation to helping professions and to the service sector. Now, HR specialists find it among designers and talk about it at design industry conferences. The editorial staff of the “Geolnfo” journal have interested in whether this problem really exists, what engineers themselves think about it, and how they help themselves. In this paper, we will briefly review their stories and recommend what to do if you have to deal with burnout.
