What are the Symptoms of Job Burnout?
The following is a list of some of the most commonly reported symptoms of job burnout. Any of these symptoms can lead individuals to more serious mental health conditions, and in some cases even alcoholism or drug addiction. • Experiencing negative emotions throughout the day. The individual who suffers from job burnout is a likely candidate for depression, anxiety, moodiness and other emotions that can make it hard to get out of bed in the morning, let alone perform their job at the highest levels. • Depression. Of all the negative emotions listed above, depression is by far the most debilitating. The individual who suffers from depression on the job can feel hopeless about their future and wonder why they should even give their all on a project. • Chronic tardiness or absenteeism. Job burnout makes people feel lethargic and unwilling to come in to the office on time or on a regular basis. As a result, people will start to “give up” – coming in late or not at all. • Poor performance.
