Common Causes Of Job Burnout

Job burnout is not uncommon. But it can be hard to tell if you’re ultimately dissatisfied in your career. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, a common person will stay at their current job for an average of 4 years. However, according to Indeed.com, the average millennial will stay at their job for 3 years or less. It’s normal to what to explore other options, but it’s best to know when you might be experiencing burnout. Here are 5 signs to look out for.

What Causes Job Burnout?

Here are a few reason why people suffer from job burnout:

1. Lack of motivation

Do you groan when you’re alarm wakes you up for work in the mornings? Do you dread completing your daily work tasks? You might be experiencing lack of motivation for this particular field. Although it’s not typical to be jumping for joy every single time you work, you generally should look forward to being in an environment you enjoy.

2. Poor performance

Are your numbers low? Are you “so done” with trying to challenge yourself? Poor performance in a workplace is another sign of common job burnout. You should want to continue to rise and challenge yourself to continually do better instead of throwing in the towel.

3. Decreased satisfaction

Do you find yourself grumbling over your boss or fellow co-workers? Decreased satisfaction toward your boss, co-workers or overall work environment is another common cause of job burnout.

4. Negative feelings

Do you find yourself complaining about your job to anyone who will listen? Do you feel like you have nothing positive to say about your workplace? Negative emotions are another contributor to job burnout, and it may take a huge mental strain on you both physically and emotionally.

5. Shortened attention span

Do you find yourself browsing social media during work hours? Do you walk around and talk to co-workers about unrelated job topics? A short attention span may mean you don’t want to focus on your work, which is another sign of job burnout.
