Ep183: 5 early signs of job burnout and what to do.
In this episode, Mei Phing discusses the first signs of burnout and emphasizes the importance of self-awareness and taking proactive action at each stage to improve corporate mindset and skillset to prevent reaching a point of wanting to quit one’s job.
Key Highlights
🔍 Sign #1: Continuous anxiety can indicate a lack of clarity on job responsibilities and expectations, which can be addressed through one-on-one sessions with the boss or senior.
😰 Sign #2: Consistently thinking about work after office hours may suggest a need for more information and clarity, which can be obtained by aligning expectations with the boss.
😫 Sign #3: Overwhelm can be caused by a lack of clarity or skills, and enhancing soft skills can help manage overwhelm and lead to success in any job or industry.
😥 Sign #4: Chronic stress can lead to emotional reactions and decreased effectiveness, making it important to identify and address overwhelm and stress early on.
😔 Sign #5: Job dissatisfaction and frustration can have a negative impact on confidence and self-esteem, highlighting the need to take proactive steps to prevent reaching this stage.
