Abstract
This is part of a case series. Confounding all expectations, Tina Orton returns to L-Bank several months after her breakdown / burnout. Her former colleague Kerstin Berger is now her boss. Berger, Orton and the entire L-Bank IT organisation have to learn to deal with the complex and potentially embarrassing situations associated with burnout and re-integration, and more importantly, to try to head off other such situations in the future. By the end of the case, with support from Berger, Orton has become a highly-valued project manager and a mentor to others. She particularly dedicates herself to improving the company's recruitment and induction processes.
