"You're Not Lazy, You're Burned Out" — Mental Health, Disabilities, and Workplace Accommodations

Burnout is depression. Yang checked almost every box on the questionnaire — and he didn't even know it until his wife told him. And he's not alone.
In this episode, Yang and Ashley get personal about their own mental health journeys and what it took to step away from corporate before things got worse. Then they get into what employers actually need to know — and do — when an employee is struggling.
They break down the difference between ADA and FMLA, what counts as an invisible disability, how neurodivergent employees are outperforming their peers at companies like JPMorgan and Deloitte, and why the accommodation your employee needs might literally just be a pair of headphones or a better office chair.
They also get into the stuff nobody talks about — the biases that sneak into hiring decisions, what happens when someone works the system (including one wild story involving forged doctor's notes and insurance fraud), and why a good manager should never handle this alone.
If you're an employer, HR pro, or just someone trying to figure out if what you're feeling has a name — this one's for you.
