  • DOES18 Las Vegas - Burnout is a hot topic in today's workplace, given its high costs for both employees and organizations. What causes this problem? And what can be done about it? Empirical findings show that burnout is largely a function of the social environment in which people work. The key sources lie in 6 critical areas of mismatch between the person and the job. This talk will review major new insights into the causes and effects of this problem, and will discuss the most promising strategies for dealing effectively with it.

    This is a pretty good description of job burnout. Unfortunately, it doesn't suggest any remedy for people who are already so burnt out that they can't and don't want to work any more either in their current profession or any other, but need to work somewhere in order to support themselves and their families.

    My philosophy to avoid burn out is simple. I do my best work and do a hard days work within reason. If I fail to meet impossible goals set by my bosses then that’s their problem. Let them fire me I refuse to lose 1 second of sleep over work its just not worth it.

    Ive been off work for 7 months. I wasnt receiving any help from the health service or my work so I paid for private counselling sessions which were costing upward of 60 pounds a session. I did 5 sessions and learned that my burnout over the past 2 years had triggered depression. I asked work if they could help fund some more sessions and they refused. Work are now scheduling meetings for me to return. I am watching this as I write my resignation. Work isnt supposed to take your life- its supposed to support it. And dont work for organisations that see you as expendable. My depression has settled and now i couldnt give a shit about work. Greener pastures.

      @@Anto_81 Hi. Yep, from lovely blighty. I eventually returned back to work through an agency in medical placements. I specified what I was unable to do, but through the shuffling of work and departments: I was placed in a massively similar setting that started me off with my issues in the first place. I did 3 months fine to start with, then as soon as I was moved, it was like I could feel the walls closing again. Confined working area, the same arduous task over 8 hrs, hierarchy mongering. The list goes on, but I felt everything I'd worked so hard on start unravelling. A month ago I left, regardless of 'how much I was letting everyone down'. I got a doctors note issued and walked. Now. Looking for something else. As stupid as it was to try and return to that mindset, it helped me with a few things. Firstly: I noticed a toxic environment and removed myself from it before anything else happened. Secondly: I know how that I've evolved past that kind of thing. Not in an elitist way, but the way the work is:it's nature, it's unsustainable. The human mind is not made to do that. Though it can - it shouldn't. Thirdly: the last few months have really had me find myself among my hobbies that I abandoned something me back. It's still an ongoing process, but thank you for asking. Life's a continuous function. You never actually arrive anywhere. You just have to keep living and learning.

      I’ve been burnt out for a 1.5 years. High workload and false promises by carrot and stick tactics.
      I loved my job, I love what it meant, I followed the vision and it has a great story behind it. I was fully engaged and sprinting for 4 years.
      They took advantage of my loyalty. They didn’t take the time to care. they only threw money at the problem which is something I never even asked for.
      They started excluding me from organizational charts, ignoring my metrics. They took advantage of another employee for 6-months just to somewhat honor the request and they lied about his treatment after consulting with the employee.
      They would give me 2 false dates to expect some permanent help. No one bothered to give me a call and say sorry, not gunna happen.
      It’s been a year since the last false date. The last time I had hope for help.

    This is the clearest, most detailed and most accurate description of burnout i heard so far. And I've listened to a lot to try and understand what i am experiencing.
    The worst aspect is the loss of effective cognitive function and starting to not care about a job i loved. My cancer advocacy role is something so worthwhile, so necessary and important, but I've started to not care, to be indifferent, impatient, envious and cynical re those people who are still passionate.
    This is not me anymore.
    And i desperately want to get back to the energetic, eager, excited person that i was 2 years ago.
    I took on too much and not got any help. Worked longer and harder to get stuff done, but never enough.
    And not a lot of thank you's.
    I now also feel shame that I am failing and thinking i am not the right person for the job.
    I can't even think straight any more, let alone have any impressive or coherent conversation with people.
    Not sure how to fix it.🙁

    • @AquaticAbomination
      @AquaticAbomination 4 ปีที่แล้ว +15

      I don't have an easy solution or answer, but one thing:
      Your language, to me, seems to imply a person who is very demanding of themselves. A key factor to burn-out.
      "I desperately want to be who I was"...
      No. You need to love the burned out person you are now. We all change, but it doesn't mean you cannot be who you were or that you would have lost something permanently. You need to heal but you cannot do that by forcing it or trying to be who you were. Love yourself, forgive yourself. "Heal thyself, healer", as they said.
      I'm sorry, I'm sure this might all sound like of bunch of tired clichés, but just felt like saying this. It's a long way to go and a simple TH-cam comment won't change anything, but I just wanted to say this, because I kinda recognise that language.... You're hard on yourself.....
      I'm a person who was doing a overworked, underpaid Google marketing job....while my mother is slowly dying of cancer. I've tried to make these parts fit together for the past year until I got the diagnosis of severe work-related exhaustion. I don't feel normal either but I accept who I am now, and that I don't "need" to be anything now, except who I am right now. A burned out husk, but that's still me.

We often don't need a boss to criticize us because we have a voice in our head that does that constantly. So I agree that that factor combined with everything outlined in this talk leads to faster burnout. I haven't held a job for 3 years due to burn out and the decision to not deal with all the difficulties that Covid 19 added to the already stressful workplace.

    I have scars psychically and mentally from a job I worked for 9 years. The pandemic forced me to leave, and that was a blessing in disguise. I was too afraid to leave on my own. In no way am I saying the pandemic was a good thing to happen. I was insightful of my mental health problems before the pandemic and already diagnosed and on meds for years. It is sad that a pandemic is essential for people to realize the mental health struggles they have and thought were just normal every day problems. And now places are trying to pay soo much more to employees because I hope the wave of paying sh*t and expecting perfect work is BS. I MEAN “employees at will” there is barely anything to protect most people and it causes the lower/middle class to give up on rising higher. Or to die trying or maybe get lucky with a family member (nepotism) or they have a great boss! *I learned so much from awful management that I can be the world’s best damn boss at this point*

I wasn't taught how to train myself, I feel like crap because my skills suck, and my work is piling up. In order for my skills to get better I have to communicate and connect with a lot of people, which exhausts me more than usual because of social anxiety. And when I do talk it's like I never know what I need to say to get what I want. I don't know the framework of my workplace because its a ministry, things intermingle, the place is large and this framework is commonly known by higher ups and not the general staff. I know it should be easy to go and just talk to people and find out what I need to know but it's like mind isn't willing to pull together the pieces, I can't focus, I have little to no drive and I'm beginning to doubt I have a place here when I can't even write up a legal document without making stupid mistakes.

    Something I often say in my business is "Don't work Twice". For entrepreneurs, knowing your process helps a great deal. Simply writing things down and having them ready to go when it's time to delegate or pivot or do anything really. That said, the simple fact is that self-care has to play into it at some point. Growth, success, just simple good work can't come through burnout 🔥

    Currently watching this! I am currently working with a prominent Telco company from Canada. I'm one of those people from foreign countries they outsource to serve customers' needs. Every shift, I had to deal with to much negativity from customers plus delayed response from the management. It was good for a while but after quite sometime, I found myself detesting the sound of the phone and the policies being drilled to our heads. Our salary is a day delayed and a very cheap one. Tonight I didn't go to work because I am anxious and awfully depressed. I have talked to my supervisor about this but he just shrugged it off and asked me to come to work. Of course I didn't. Because how am I gonna deal with customers when I am not okay myself? I tried to ask for a leave but they didn't allowed me. Every night, we're always berated about the policies and metrics, all the while instilling into our heads that we are just numbers and we can be replaced..
    I think workers abroad are luckier than me because they get paid sick leaves and you can use it without being judged. Here, depression is just dismissed as a "seasonal" thing wherein fact I have been battling it all my life. I cannot afford check up because it costs too much.
    Western companies are hypocrites, they say no one should be overworked but the way they treat their foreign workers, are inhumane!

I feel my brain has just shutdown and can't think of any solution anymore. Numbers is the only thing that matter to the company. I want to leave this job but I just cannot because I don't know where else to go :(

    Where were you in 2004, when I initiated proceedings against my former employers? I presented much of what you identified to my lawyer, counsel for defence and the arbitrators of the matter… all of whom pooh-poohed me. Here we are, coming to the close of 2021, and it’s the first year I’ve made any significant improvement in my mental and physical health since they went down the shitter. If I didn’t need the money to support my family - at the time - I would have gladly not have taken the job in the first place or, if I still needed to take the job, I would have gotten out sooner. My heart goes out to each and every good-hearted soul who puts up with incredible, long-term, continuous workplace stress… I’m just so very sorry there is nothing I can do to reverse the effects of your burnout, but this lovely lady has given you much to think about so start taking steps to save yourself because no-one else is going to do it for you ❤️

    You are either a "hard worker" or a "slacker" and a "bum" end of story in the USA.
    So I worked for 41 years. I quit working 3 years ago and never felt better except for the self-imposed guilt that I put on myself for not working.
    I want to want to work again, but if I am honest with myself, I just don't want to work anymore.
    At some point enough is enough.

    1.) Not having enough money and becoming homeless.

I have brought in projects and thus money to the company and am project leader for one of their larger projects. Yet when they announced a permanent in my own section that I applied for I was not even called into interview because I was already a part of the group... Their solution is to give me yet another extention on my contract... I'm bending over backwards to show my worth but they dont see me and properly hire me... I am now hitting the wall.

    If a normal garden variety human being needs to spend their weekends and vacations recovering from their work days, burnout is inevitable and that will be squarely on the leaders who designed that work environment - they’ll blame everyone but themselves when everyone inevitably starts quitting. If you’re relying on the overtime and heroics of your team to survive (Work hard play never! Do more with less!), then you better have strong autonomy, interesting highly skilled work, and a strong sense of purpose and psychological safety in your workplace. Sadly most places that expect unreasonable workloads also take away the very things that drive humans to want to excel. Hire robots if you don’t want to deal with the messy side of having humans work for you.

My managers wouldn’t give me a raise, they said to me that my work is the best I close the store the best! I said “I won’t anymore. If I am “the best” at my position why don’t I get paid more?” “I will have to close the store like the 16 year olds because at age 16 I worked for this business and I had a better work ethic. So there is NO excuses for them to be paid equal to me when I work 10x harder” and that’s how I got my first raise for 25 cents after literally 4 years of working for the same company.

      Much of industry is globalized nowadays and the global competition is fierce. For example, American companies often hold meeting that run late into European evenings and expect European workers who are required to attend to be fine with it. They often have no choice if they are service providers to some big company. I worked in Germany, and even though they supposedly have more government protection and rights work-wise, in reality, in the private sector you are just expected to work a hell of a lot of unpaid overtime and just take it on the chin. Often management just hand projects out to people willy nilly without really assessing the proper scope and time and resources required. Employees feel like they should be able to cope because surely if more people were required for the task, management would know this. Nah! Not that its easy for managers who are also suffering a lot of stress but many of them don't even understand the work their employees are doing, and have the mindset that the job is the same as it was 15 years ago.
