Burnout is rampant in IT, with 2 in 5 professionals at high risk, according to the State of Burnout in Tech Report 2022. Managed Service Providers (MSPs) are acutely affected by the factors driving IT burnout. Cybersecurity is arguably the biggest of those factors, with one survey finding that up to 95% of cybersecurity professionals are “experiencing factors that make them more likely to resign in the next 12 months”.
MSP owners are also getting burnt out. One such owner turned to Reddit to voice their frustration. “It was just a few years ago when I couldn't wait for Monday,” they said. “These days it's a different story.”
