Annie Lu, a former product marketing manager at Atlassian, resigned after two years following burnout and reassignment to less fulfilling projects. Initially drawn to Atlassian for its culture and alignment with her skills, she experienced increasing structural reorganizations and diminishing project engagement. After a 12-week medical leave for recovery, Lu realized her well-being outweighed job titles and conventional success paths. Despite the difficulty of her decision to leave, it ultimately led her towards a more fulfilling life beyond corporate expectations.
Falling into burnout made me realize life is short, and no paycheck or title is worth more than my well-being.
I realized I had a lot of limiting beliefs, including that I needed to follow a conventional corporate path to success rather than pursuing my passions.
