I have been there, done that once. And given how things have been at work
front last 3-4 weeks, my entire team will be there in a year's time.

I think the article is bang on, both in terms of causes & cures. However,
the cures are never as easy. And not all of us may have the luxury of
changing aspects of our jobs. This is particularly awful in indian context
since we as a culture are not used to saying or hearing "no". But the most
important thing is to recognise that it's happening. And that the causes are
as much to do with our own inability to say "no" (to customers, to bosses,
to our own urges to fit everything in) as anything else.
