Definition
In HR/workplace contexts, either the soul-crushing exhaustion that comes from overwork, or the structural breakdown of materials under repeated stress—surprisingly, both metaphors apply equally to office workers. Engineers use it to describe when materials give up; managers use it to describe Mondays.
Example Usage
The HR team addressed employee fatigue by implementing a four-day work week pilot program.
