your example seems to show that autonomy doesn't matter so much if your choices are ill informed or the environment in which you have autonomy is toxic.

Personally, I think autonomy has little to do with it and lacking autonomy is dangerous to pin burnout on because it puts the responsibility on the person, when burnout is often the result of a system (broken or exploitative).

Sure having autonomy can help cope or delay burnout, but I don't think lacking autonomy is causing burnout singlehandedly.
