Good Morning America meteorologist Ginger Zee has a strong opinion about overworking. The morning show host said it is time for people and companies to stop “glamorizing overworking.” She also said that she doesn’t like people wearing “burnout as a badge of honor.”
Here is what Ginger said about this situation and why she feels it is a bad trend.
Ginger Zee Says People Need To Stop Overworking
Ginger Zee is never afraid to share her opinions. Her most recent comment came when she took to social media to say that it is time for people to stop “glamorizing overworking.” She said that too many people seem to be proud of putting in overtime, working at the expense of all else.

Zee shared a comment on her Instagram Stories with her thoughts on the trend. “We need to stop glamorizing overworking. Please,” she wrote. The absence of sleep, good diet, exercise, relaxation, and time with friends and family isn’t something to be applauded. Too many people wear their burnout as a badge of honor, and it needs to change” (via Monsters & Critics).
While Ginger Zee seems to be keeping a stressful work schedule with her early-morning shifts on Good Morning America, she still emphasizes that she takes time to recharge. She also ensures she has time to spend with the people she loves.
Ginger also complained earlier about her inability to sleep like a “normal human” because she gets up before 4 a.m. to go to work. “For 20 years I’ve been working odd hours & I often forget how waking up before 4 am is just not good for you no matter what time you go to bed,” Ginger said.
Ginger said, “People are done with their night, and I’m starting my day” (via Us Weekly). She also indicated that she forecasts the night before so she has less of a stressful workday on Good Morning America. She heads in, and it takes an hour for her hair and makeup before she starts taping.
Ginger Zee Won’t Put Up With Trolls
While Ginger Zee is letting people know they shouldn’t work themselves to death, she also wants people to know they must love themselves. This includes ignoring people who try to drag you down.
Ginger is fine with how she looks. This means that when people judge her hair, makeup, or figure online, she won’t sit by idly and let them shame her. Some people commented that her thighs were too thick to wear shorter skirts. As a result, she posted an Instagram video destroying the tolls, saying she is proud of her thighs.
