Are you feeling overwhelmed? Pressured? Like no one cares? Listen, I hear you because I’ve been there too. Feeling overwhelmed at work is nothing new. But, when you’re going through it, you can feel like the only one dealing with the problem.
The most interesting thing about people who are experiencing burnout is that you often don’t notice until it’s too late. People are good at covering up the stress they feel for fear of being perceived as weak. In fact, they will go to great lengths to put on a happy face as they suffer in silence. This is one of the reasons that by the time you either notice, or are told, that someone is burned out, it has often reached critical levels. And if you’re the one just noticing you feel this way, it’s often hard to shake yourself out of the situation by the time you notice. There are a few factors I see that commonly lead to burnout.
