Summary
What if burnout isn’t a people problem — it’s a design problem? Organizational psychologist Dr. Kat Page has spent two decades studying why workers break down — and her answer challenges everything most organizations do about it. A poorly designed job, she argues, is worse for your mental health than unemployment. And every wellbeing program that treats the symptom is quietly giving the organization permission to ignore the cause. In this episode, Kat and host Ivan Palomino dismantle the resilience myth, expose the moral injury hiding inside everyday corporate dysfunction, and get practical about what leaders who actually design good work do differently — day by day, behavior by behavior. If you lead people, work in HR, or feel like the system is broken but can’t quite name why — this is the conversation that gives you the words and the tools.
