    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. Not everyone, of course, but enough people.
