You may not realize it, but your job could be the root cause of your burnout. According to a recent study, job burnout is linked to a number of factors, including low job satisfaction, little control over one’s work, and high levels of stress. If you’re feeling burnt out at your job, it’s important to take a step back and assess the situation. Are you happy with your work? Do you feel like you have a good work/life balance? Are you constantly under pressure to perform? If you answered “no” to any of these questions, it’s time to take action. Talk to your boss about your concerns, look for a new job, or take some time off to recharge. Ignoring the problem will only make it worse.
