Understanding Job Burnout - Dr. Christina Maslach

[@CristinaLeonetti]

I believe that many of the issues related to burnout stem from poor management. People have always worked hard, but the stress often arises from managers who place undue responsibility on their employees, with attitudes like, “I pay you to not have problems.” This approach can create an overwhelming environment for workers.

I remember working at Hitachi. It payed decent but it was 12 hours a day 7 days a week and my line was by far the busiest but a couple of the machines had problems(one press I used leaked oil and would have to be refilled daily and oil all over the floor), that slowed us down and even the company themselves recognized the goal was impossible but yet despite the highest numbers we never were put up for line of the month but we still had to attend. The reason we were never picked despite highest numbers was because we never met our goal, the same goal the company acknowledged as impossible. Talk about some bs, having to watch everyone else win bonuses and gift cards when we all worked the hardest. Really makes you stop caring

Being a custodian is very trying because of how other people view you and treat you.

[@moniqueloomis9772]

I hear you. I hate when people don't clean up after themselves expecting someone else to do it! Disgusting behavior and as an educator I call it out every single time.

I have a relative working in a Statistics Bureau... 2 employees already died because they were denied time off to see a doctor. One family sued, so vacation time was made mandatory on the paper. The bureau gives the employees homework for the vacation. and they have to be doing work at home anyways. There used to be a union, but the union disappeared or died off...My relative workload went really up. She used to work along with other two employees. The two other employees were separately dismissed...she has a 300% work load increase and barely sleeping 2h or 3h per night; on top of that she's really sleep deprived, she's ben diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and she could break down any time...she's the main breadwinner in her home and work is very scarce in her city...The superiors keep threatening he with her job, so she just keeps delivering and they keep pushing, the bosses know no limits...what could be done?

[@Nokss87]

This is why I quit....majority of organizations are too out of touch with technological changes that employees must adapt to. We are treated like trash....

[@The_Daily_Tomato]

I'm gonna quit tomorrow. I'm tired, overworked, underpaid and under appreciated. There was a time that not having a job scared me but I just don't care anymore. A truck could run me over five days from now and even that wouldn't bother me.

[@barbarab202]

How have things been going for you?

[@andiswakona5410]

I’m so sorry you felt this way. Hope you are in a better place.

[@LE-di7bl]

I feel the same. Putting in my notice this week.

[@katlegomokone3393]

Very good and I am experiencing that. Quitting might be a solution

[@wclaydon6721]

I think I have been burnt out since I was 20 I started at a lawfirm in management ended up doing the job for 4 managers I barely got paid more then left went into sales moved to australia looked after 3 whole states for 16 years the owner kept saying he was running at a loss he wasn’t he was super greedy ..everytime I asked for more $$ he promised everything delivered nothing- it was all rubbish I left it’s taken me 2.5 years to recover. I feel totally used like work was a machine that just chewed me up and spat me out.

Watching this as I work...on the weekend

[@Mark1Mach2]

Burnout is very hard to deal with. Progress is slow but you gotta keep progressing.

[@SoundSphere-rt8jw]

I am definitely on burnout. Thanks for explaining.

[@deniseromero5714]

Thank you. As a teacher, i felt like this. I changed schools. I feel like I have a new lease on life ❤

[@leejay2418]

Yes I agree. So true. A better school is like night and day. Wishing you the best Denise.

[@angelocatapang6054]

we all are vulnerable to job/occupational burnouts.musicians,actors,athletes,lawyers etc.

[@betterthenideserve8889]

Here for the burn out pep talk.

[@heather5926]

Same 🎉

[@DonnaIRL]

Crazy! I'm literally working on a video about burnout!

[@icejadechica]

That's how I got here.

[@barbarab202]

I am basically on the brink of collapse, but know it's only due to work. Had taken a leave of absence, time off, switched employers, but always the same: do more with less. Days are spent in meetings and such, then in the evenings begin quiet work, reading through the hundreds of e-mails from the day, making to do list for next day, the cycle continues. My eating has suffered immensely (basically poor grab and go stuff, whatever is fastest), and I've stopped making plans with friends as I tend to end up having to cancel due to work emergencies. It's easy to say to change again, but took nine months to find the last job, so it's tricky out there here right now. I know this isn't good for me health-wise. Constant chest pain, feeling nauseous from stress, crazy insomnia, etc. Is this how life is?

[@RedPandas3111]

I can relate

[@nobodyshero200]

This is excellent. I am getting away from my job. I watched some poor A and E doctor and host. Their ideas were breathing and hide in the toilet!

[@deemee7329]

Lol. Like that's going to help

[@MusicaEsAmor100]

Ugh in the ER if we needed a break after a bad trauma we would take turns crying in the bathroom. It was so normalized...😢

[@deemee7329]

Right on, no matter what you do it's not enough, fast enough, and the inequality in treatment. I'm a top profomer but does my evaluation ever reflect that , NO! yet new hires get better pay and titles when they can't do the job. There's no motivation to do anything as they just pile more on you in less and less time. It's just not worth it.

[@running4fun863]

This is all happening to me I am dying.

[@GriffinLink]

Hi Running 4Fun, please reach out to someone either professionally (therapist, psychologist) or a close friend or family member. Burnout can lead to serious consequences.

[@VasilKrstevski]

Hi! How are you doing now?

[@seinfan9]

Leeave that shitty place. Tell them to kiss your ass.

[@leejay2418]

I hope you got out and had an escape plan. Hope you are ok.

[@SharlenesJourney]

Same here I’m only 24 but I don’t know who I am anymore I want to escape 😞 I hope you’re well 🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@lindseyshanahan1995]

Should give myself a break

[@haithamalahmad1258]

anyone knows the right way to use the Maslach Burnout Inventory?

[@Princess-rz5hn]

12:45 This is exactly what my company says

[@AspieGamer1986]

I work at an elderly retirement community and 3 days a week there's only two of us in the Assisted living dining room and the workload feels heavier. My body feel more physical exhaustion from work. It doesn't help with all these callouts cause I'm always at work. I end up smoking Marijuana to help with the body exhaustion and I wear diapers since they help me destress after a long day of work. If you're gonna judge me then 🖕.

[@jfsbajll]

imagine marrying the guy that conducted the stanford prison experiment lmaoooo

[@gdc1989]

I can’t quit, we’re building a house and have a mortgage and will be trying for a baby. I’m trapped.

[@Puppypaws04]

You need to be mentally healthy to have a baby and enjoy it - otherwise you could end up with post natal depression. Having a baby is stressful, no mater how wanted the baby is.
