Are you burnt out from work or life in general? Comment below and tell us.

[@you98765]

Trying hardly not to get burnt out😅

[@hornblowingimp8653]

Shock at the world government fraud. We are collective trauma. Trust gone

[@1tern925]

This video is very helpful to me.❤ Yes I am experiencing burnt out from work and life in general.

[@the_unfiltered_truth7181]

Trying hard not to!

[@meejworld3776]

Strategic withdrawal to gather strength.. 👍 👍 much needed for work life balance

[@twintribe2512]

Burnout main reasons are: 1. Toxic Boss 2. Overload of work 3. Pay parity 4. Unproductive meetings 5. Paying less internal increments and offering higher pay for replaced recruits 6. Traffic and commute issues to cover field jobs

[@samuelbodunde]

"Prioritizing your well-being is the winning strategy". Powerful words spoken.

[@VikasaBharat]

3 years later, and much more at peace with myself, but burnouts are brutal. Everybody who’s going through this, please stay strong and stay safe. This too passes, and we’ll be better people at the end of it.

[@AchiraDasgupta]

[@srishtikannaujiya2050]

After a burnout, I found that I can't carry on; so I dropped my graduation there inspite of being a topper of my city. And decided to take a fresh start after a gap of one year. It helped me in understanding my area of interest and increase my productivity.

[@ramitnayak8812]

Very recently Narayan Murthy Sir in an interview made a point of working 70 hrs a week, CEO of OLA Bhavish Agrawal Sir supported this idea. Mam you should interview Murthy Sir and Agrawal sir, and ask them about these issues and their solutions to these issues that employees face in there daily lives.

[@SharatS]

These people dont deserve to be interviewed anymore.

[@Lima3578user]

Palki, the fact that you stand by the people at the grassroots means a lot. Mark of a true leader. After Arnab if anyone has emerged powerful, its you Palki.

[@manis3391]

Arnab?????? Is he powerful? He is a psychopayh... A narcissist... Atleast spare palki from this comparison.

[@newsnetworkz]

Wholeheartedly agreed

[@GlobalGoenkar]

Aranab ?????????? In which way 😂😂😂😂

[@shobhitthackar1965]

Wow you compare a greedy and complete moron like Arnab to a true journalist like Palki. That has to be the biggest disrespect.

[@sp-uv6kc]

Bravo. Here n the US its become even tougher since the cost to maintain family including child care is unmanageable along with long hours and daily commute. The expectations have become unrealistic and caused so much damage while a high percentage of employees do not wish to complain for fear of retaliation and with higher chances of similar employment in other states, it makes those who can't relocate or don't wish to suffer more. Thanks for bringing up this topic.

[@markquirico1079]

Exactly, I was promoted to operations manager in a huge multinational company in my mid-20s and I was working nights and also on-call 24x7. I was burned out due to lack of sleep. I thought that was the end of my career. But I found another job that pays better, no on-call and regular working hours. And my old company replaced my role with 4 people after I left.

[@varalakshmisomarouthu4345]

I am so happy that someone finally found it important to talk about it! Addressing these kinds of things on a public platform itself made me feel good you know! Thank you Palki ji!

[@ajaychams4733]

this is true Journalism, thanks for making such a video.

[@RM-fe6ye]

Thank you for this news. I’m experiencing burn out and took a medical leave from Investment Banking. I worked over 2 decades in this industry. Now the company I was employed over a decade laid me off. It shows that my dedication and sacrifice meant nothing more than a headcount. We are easily replaceable. Meanwhile, I was a “valuable asset” when I was able to perform at my highest and longest…

[@shibanimanohar1273]

Good things are on your way.. Have trust in life.🤗❤🤗

[@arc_yoga_lifestyle]

@palki... I left my government job because of burnout.. I was a new mom and exausted at work.. Mom Guilt all the time and I was pushing my boundaries because I wanted to prove that being a new mom doesn't make me less productive... I was all wrong.. We really need to pause and retrospect.. Life is short and It should be lived well... Much more power and love to you❤

[@awrjkf]

I do meditation while working. Staying in the moment while performing tasks. Oh, I also don't try to please everyone: clients, stakeholders, team members, manager. I give realistic deadlines.

[@GIRISHVARMA]

Can someone tag Mr. Narayan Murty?

[@user-ki9ib2rh6v]

Excellent topic, story and news. I do too often felt burnout after my busy and demanding work at my workplace in a hospital. Keep up the good work Ms Palki Sharma. From, Mr W.Rani, Shillong City, Meghalaya, India.

[@ramitnayak8812]

I can literally feel the words of VIRUS from the movie 3 idiots "Tej nhi bhagoge , log tumhe kuchal ke aage nikal jaayenge."

[@maridelacroix1998]

GREAT!! Thank you for this report, Palki. It's hard to say NO but even harder for people to accept it. But I can say that I've finally learned to impose my boundaries and I'm proud of that. 😊

[@TheDuravida]

Thanks for the update

[@WilliamSmith-pn5bu]

I have always refused to push my self to the limit and it works for me

[@sunriselotus]

Hi Ms. Palki, thank you for talking about this very important yet not talked about topic, I think we all need to be talking about this. It is a very important subject because it hurts our health.

[@ElleD88]

Was burnt out just before and during the pandemic.... I designed so many funeral programs and memorial keepsakes at the funeral home I worked at.... it's crazy. There weren't enough hrs in the day!!!

[@subhadipkar1370]

What an exceptional presentation & content..... every word is true and priceless ma'am....!.🙏 We shall overcome some day 🥺🤝😢🌼

[@makeitcount179]

Thank you Palki. This issue intersects everybody's path at some time or another.

[@Rexox11]

I'm burnt out to the max. Mainly bad work demands, bad boundaries that benefits employer but to my detriment. Come Friday night at 6pm I don't answer any work calls or work colleagues who want to talk and discuss work, through to Monday morning. On my weekends I no longer spend time with friends from work, bar 2 good friends where we have made a pact - no work talk, we keep each other in check. For those two days I have reclaimed them finaly, I don't want to know about work, it's my time, family time, friend time. It has made me stress less and burnout less. I just need to move it to 5pm during weekdays. You work back late, don't get paid for that. It's going to stop one step at a time, good luck everyone

[@hornblowingimp8653]

I am a gov employer whistleblower in Uk. I was dedicated to children in care. I was passionate but my government hounded me to almost loss of my life.

[@shreyshah7241]

That’s really good! At least someone talked about it! Appreciative 👏🏻👏🏻

[@abhishekwatwanib9866]

👏👏 very well explained...I am a student but, Academic pressure and Deadlines make me feel exhausted so this message is very usefull..Aftet all Thanks @Palki S

[@saranyafrancis]

I needed to hear this for myself. Thank you for speaking on such an important aspect of well being

[@ifedayoojo5975]

Bravo Palki Sharma! Thanks for your wonderful expositions. Your lines are top-notch, coated with professionalism. God bless you.

[@skapur]

Burnout is not caused by exhaustion but because of under appreciation. Exhaustion is a very real but a completely different issue. People conflate the two like in this video. Exhaustion is a medical issue and burnout is not. That is how you differentiate between the two.

[@shwetharam5810]

Yoga & meditation is a way out for me, it helps me to strike the balance

[@jenniferblankenship4915]

Krishna is success! HARI Bol!

[@cryptocurrent7005]

Most people strive to make our work have the greatest effect on the vast majority of society... something that most people can relate to. Palki, I think you hit the jackpot with this story.

[@abhinavnair8315]

Are you burnt out. Do you love what you are doing. So basically you are not physically burnt out, you are emotionally burnt out with the goals and targets that are somebody's unrealistic vision.

[@Multifire910]

Good topic

[@vb9950]

Thanks for speaking on behalf of all men! It was really depressing time for me, and I really felt supportive knowing that there are men like me who are riding on the same boat.

[@manoj22467]

Well said palki. Ofcourse it happened to most of people but we don't understand what happen and push our self to daily basis. And said to regret with one think Kismat kharab hai

[@chloecardoz7512]

This needs to be talked about open...companies talk about it and yet reality is the complete opposite. There should be assessment for anyone taking on a manager's role cause most of them don't know how to deal with their subordinates. Eventually it comes down to your own boundaries and the consequences you are willing to accept.

[@FrustratedCommoner]

A successful life is - Able to fall asleep and getting up by time , having enough to eat & cloth and good health.

[@ramonaritz7815]

We use to acknowledge ways to increase productivity by providing healthy work environments but it seems that has not been a goal for decades now!

[@suranjanabasu498]

Great story. Thank you.

[@sagesufferswell]

Thank you for this amazing explanation and coverage of Burnout. It also happens in Autistic folks and other disabled people especially hard as we are already struggling to survive, there's lots of extra stresses to deal with too.

Great topic to discuss 🫡🙏🏻 thankz Ms.palki for discussing on this issue

[@asofotida443]

The traffic situation is so bad in Indian cities every employee who even reaches office should be given an award. So much corruption in the government, the public servants, road contractors and all these people. Middle class just keeps on working and working. My dad used to work exactly till 5:30 and came home by 7, no computer, no work from home, no mobile, he retired in 2007. And now? Even at 12 midnight you can get a call from your boss and be expected to login and check some issue. Fck this shit. On top of that woman, man, even pets are working, who takes care of the home? I one. Is this what advancement for humans look like? Do people even have time for music, games, picnics, etc etc? And for what? Whatever money you earn is taken by the hospitals or education of children or by women during divorce. See what is happening in China.. youth is giving up.

Facts…you spoke facts….That’s I want to be a Teacher now. Did my B.ed. Looking for government teacher jobs now. I’m 32 now….i have a 3 yr chance till the final postings. I can’t hold this burden anymore. Just want to settle in my town. One plus is i have an own house and a portion of it is given on rent. That’s it. Nothing else. No other properties. That’s one downside. May be i don’t see the money i have seen in IT.

[@johnlobuin4212]

Very correct dear.

[@sureshsahoo3295]

It's true story. Burnout is more in India than you can expect. As kids, we were influenced by a certain type of cultural lifestyle. And watching it break apart, it feels like what am I supposed to do now? I am more concerned that, compared to the 20years back, i really don't know what to do next. I was from a conservative family and watching the society in a new format (liberal mindset), gives me a feeling of a culture extinction. And adding to that, i am supposed to work at my job and continue to believe that this job will secure my future. But how? I simply do not think it is going to be easy. The old ways of life are gone, sentiments within the family are volatile and unstable and eroding,l. I am pretty sure that the "civilized" society is in the verge of breaking all the ethics of life. Imagine the ship of Theseus. Take away every aspect of lifestyle from the life of a human being and just replace it with a modern mindset and modern society. What's the use of money anyways? (When the society is no longer the same thing and you cannot relate to it anymore)

I think people get burnt out from being forced to do things that they hate in order to sustain what they perceive as a good standard of living. If people would be content with less they could spend more time discovering their passion and figure out how to monetize it and then they would never get burnt out again.
