Informal survey before I make a fool of myself in an article (again)Do you get the feeling that IT people, especially ones at the top-end of the field, are too reluctant to ask for help?
I don't mean technical help, I mean with stuff like burnout, depression, etc.
I keep seeing it locally, the belief that we have to be superheroes to work in the field, must be able to work all-nighters, heroic long hours, don't take time off sick, never admit weakness.
Local thing, or more widespread?
Widespread. Belgians are modest people, and we mostly keep to ourselves.
IT is also (unfortunately) a men's world nowadays, and men do not talk about their feelings 🙂
Need an answer? No, you need a question
