High Stress Jobs

"It says they are dangerously fatigued and pessimistic about the future of the submarine fleet, yet many are so focused on doing a good job they burn out and then leave."

I don't see how cash incentives will address burn out. it might temporarily attract new people to be trained but unless the job changes, then the fatigue, pessimism and burn out will remain. This will not be the only job where we have not addressed working conditions. there have to be jobs where we have a shortage or high turn over because the right people cannot be recruited for the job or the conditions of the job are untenable. We need to review these high pressure jobs. We need to look at the sorts of jobs which crash people and their lives. If we are serious about viability and mental health then we need some experts in here looking at what factors are affecting the submarine personnel and the sort of conditions which lead to the malfunction of such a job and then the dysfunction of those employed in it...and jobs of that ilk. It means being honest and practical and we are good at that once we decide to pull our heads out of the sand.
