I’m in the exact same position. Third layoff round in 9 months. It has completely eroded my trust in this company, to the point it’s irrecoverable. It’s hard to focus (because of the urgent priority to sort it out). It’s not necessarily burnout. I’ve spent the weekend polishing my CV till it’s perfect, then applying to companies that look good (read: stable). Maybe 15 applications so far. I’d suggest polishing your CV every 3 months, always be ready to jump at opportunities. And take some PTO. Take a week, use some of the time to apply to jobs, and most of the time to relax and watch the world burn. At your job, as another commenter said - zoom out. Stay out of all politics, do the work required, spend your quiet time up-skilling, go for a walk before work, and on every break at work. Stay off twitter/reddit or anywhere doom posting about the job market. You’ll know burnout when it hits - you won’t be able to focus at work, you won’t have any enthusiasm for side projects, you’ll feel tired all the time and rundown, you’ll begin to hate your career and all your colleagues, you’ll go from emotional to numb. Proper burnout is horrible and its effects last months. I burnt out last year, probably took 4-6 months to be back to normal. Required taking significant time off, and dropping my days worked from 5->4 for months. And moving back with parents etc.
