ForecastedBurnOut is satirical finance commentary for people who read between the earnings lines.
The system doesn't make sense. We stopped pretending.
Every day, companies post record profits and announce layoffs in the same press release. Analysts say "soft landing" with the same confidence they said "transitory." Your 401(k) is simultaneously your retirement plan and a source of existential dread.
ForecastedBurnOut sits in the space between hero worship and bitter criticism. We don't give financial advice. We point at the contradiction and let you decide how you feel about it.
The gap between what companies say and what employees experience.
When the numbers stop making sense and everyone pretends they do.
The performance of working vs. the act of working.
Silicon Valley promises vs. your actual Tuesday.
Record GDP. Record credit card debt. Same economy.
Your job will be automated. Your meetings won't.
Analysts, product managers, consultants, and tech workers who are too informed to be optimistic and too employed to be fully cynical. If you've ever described your job as "fine" with a pause that lasted slightly too long, you're in the right place.
