Burnout is not a result of working a lot, it’s a result of work not feeling like it pays out in ape-enjoyableness[citation needed]. So they very well could be having a grand ol time working a lot if their attitude towards intended amount of success matches up comfortably with actual success and they find this to pay out in a felt currency which is directly satisfying. I get burned out when effort ⇒ results ⇒ natural rewards gets broken, eg because of being unable to succeed at something hard, or forgetting to use money to buy things my body would like to be paid with.
