I could have worded that better. I think it is in indication that burnout is headed your way. When you don't want to a do a job anymore that you used to like doing (bored if it) and you are being forced to continue doing it, burnout is about to happen.
- varjag 4y agoIt's possible there are many different paths to the clinical end state, but for me burnout had nothing to do with boredom at all. It also didn't feel like being bored when it has set on.
- sbf501 4y agoI guess I could have reworded my rewording better. My multiple experiences with burnout were preceded by boredom, but I guess my burnout isn't the same as your burnout, or others' burnout. I define burnout as just not giving a f*ck anymore, not caring if the project succeeds or fails, or if I get fired. I don't know what others' burnout is like.
- varjag 4y agoI had only one episode, it lasted 18 months of complete inability to perform my job (that I was perfectly capable doing before). Full recovery took several years. It was like a firecracker went off in your head and left a buzz that prevents you to stick to your task even for a second - except there's no actual buzzing sound. The trajectory that took me there was acutely unpleasant but I would not describe any of it as boredom. You ain't getting bored on your death march. Can't imagine several such experiences, I'd rather change career.
