43 Hilarious Work Memes To Attach To Your ‘I Quit’ Letter

Research from Moodle (conducted by Censuswide) shows that two-thirds (66 percent) of American employees have experienced some form of burnout in 2025.

The numbers reveal that younger generations are having the most issues, with 81 percent of 18- to 24-year-olds and 83 percent of 25- to 34-year-olds reporting burnout, compared to just 49 percent of those aged 55 and older.

According to the data, employee burnout is mostly driven by:

1. Feeling like they have more work to complete than time to do it — 24 percent
2. Not having enough resources or the right tools to do their job properly — 24 percent
3. A perception of a poor economy, which is impacting their well-being at work — 20 percent
4. Taking on too much work due to labor shortages in their industry — 19 percent
5. Worry about how AI will impact their role — 13 percent

Jason Gamel, president and CEO of the American Resort Development Association (ARDA), suggests that taking time off is essential to maintaining a healthy mental and physical well-being, reducing stress, and improving overall productivity.

However, despite a correlation between lack of vacation and decreased productivity/increased burnout, nearly two-thirds (62%) of Americans don’t use all of their PTO.
