In my 25 years in IT, I've lived through IT Burnout a couple times as well as seen it happen in numerous peers. The physical and social effects of IT burnout on my family and others range from job loss, to breakups, and even suicide. The IT community needs to support each other not only in technical education but also social issues that may effect us as well.This session is about MY experiences and how I've worked to reduce the affects of it. Come learn how I finally recognized what was happening to me, what I needed to change in order to alleviate it, and what I currently do to keep it from affecting me.
