I also think you can fall into a kind of reverse burnout.
If you work in a slow beauacratic environment with no stress, no accountability, no change and no challenge then you really do start to notice all of the same symptoms.
- vog 13y ago> reverse burnout This is also known as "boreout". (However, I can't find evidence that "boreout" is a well-known word outside Germany. So maybe it's just one of our many German inventions of pseudo-english words.)
- troels 13y agoIt's a good word irregardless.
- nbrosnahan 13y agoI'm gonna use it now. Question is, how do you find (and keep) a job that navigates the extremely narrow path between burnout and boreout?
- marcosdumay 13y agoWhy do you think it's narrow? (Question asked by somebody that got burnedout by trying to professionalise side projects just after getting boredout by my job. I see a huge distance between those.)
- tight_scientist 13y agoThat perfectly describes where I currently work; definitely noticing those symptoms. I'm looking forward to leaving in two months.
