Um...yeah this is a weird way to state it. Pretty sure crunch causes burnout.

Crunch (imposing long periods of major overtime to meet a deadline)

Burnout—sometimes called "occupational burnout"—is a state of full-body exhaustion brought on by prolonged exposure to stress.

Yeah...

I think the implication is that Burnout is not only caused by crunch. But also by working on projects you don't really care about, or have to watch decisions from higher up ruin.

I personally experience them differently.

Crunch is a sprint, burnout is a marathon.

You can sprint a sprint... Once or twice in a while.

You can't run a marathon of sprints
