Over 70% of cybersecurity professionals often have to work weekends to address security concerns at their organization, according to a new report by Bitdefender.

This intense workload appears to correlate strongly with job dissatisfaction, with around two-thirds (64%) of the 1200 cyber professionals surveyed stating that they are planning on looking for a new job in the next 12 months.

The issue of burnout and job dissatisfaction was particularly profound among UK respondents, with 81% often working weekends and 71% looking for a new job.

Sounds like a management issue IMHO

Maybe people should organize and deny these leaders cheap labour?

100% but in general there are too few people that possess the skills for this work. So they are hard to find and expensive.

Sounds like the sort of challenging market conditions executives get paid big money to solve...

I know god forbid these people have to do any work lol
