People who are struggling to cope with workplace stress may place themselves at a high risk of burnout.
Most people spend the majority of their waking hours working. And if you hate your job, dread going to work, and don't gain any satisfaction out of what you're doing, it can take a serious toll on your life. There are other times where you may enjoy the work but are forced to work for hours every day, even on weekends and holidays. This can soon turn into a work burnout as well. Work stress is normal and is a part of every job. However, taking a break from work consistently is also important. This includes having fixed work timings each working day and not working on weekends/holidays so as to achieve work-life balance. All of this is important for you to continue loving what you do and for your physical, mental, and emotional health. Here are a few signs that will help you in taking action before you experience a work burnout -
Being depleted after work - Consistently lacking the energy and time after work to do regular things that you enjoy such as cooking, exercising, or spending time with your family is not a good sign. This leads to no work-life balance which ultimately leads to burnout.
Fantasizing about quitting - Always thinking about quitting your job after being constantly overwhelmed at work is quite common in work burnout. You hate the thought of being at work and doing any task.
Being frustrated all the time - Losing interest in your work, you stop caring about the company and start feeling more pessimistic than usual. You are always in a bad mood and are not sleeping enough which adds to the frustration.
Dreading every Monday - Similar to only looking forward to the weekend, absolutely hating every Monday is a sign of a bigger problem. Most people live for the weekends and hate Mondays because they hate their jobs.
Dipping performance - Your performance at work is taking a hit, you miss deadlines or targets, commit too many mistakes, and make no progress. Your performance reviews are bad and soon enough you will get a few warnings.
Disregarding clients and coworkers - By not caring about your work anymore, you get sick of dealing with your clients and coworkers every day and end up treating them with complete disregard. This is related to the part of being frustrated all the time.
Dreading a job search - You avoid searching for a new job or hate the thought of a job search and you may not even take the time to look for one. Finding a job is tough but if it will make you happier than you are at the moment, you should do it anyway.
