#Burnout #JobSatisfaction #CareerGrowth 🤔
Have you ever had the feeling of being over a job? Like you are done. Nothing they can say or do that can motivate you. What does this mean? Time to move on?
For context, This is my first full-time job and I have been here for 2 years. I haven’t done any professional development, pay is basic, and not learning on the job either.
Here are some possible solutions that might help in your situation:
– Reflect on your career goals and assess if your current job aligns with them.
– Explore opportunities for professional development within your current company.
– Consider seeking a mentor or coach for guidance on how to move forward.
– Update your resume and start networking to explore other job options.

I am going through it right now… my first “real” job since leaving a 13+ year military career. I will say a few things, professional development is on you. But, training and o perform your specific functions in your workplace should be on them.
Leave the job, but not until you find another one first. I am going through the same thing right now and considering putting my two weeks in. This job as emotionally and physically drained me from the day I first started and I thought things would get better if I kept working hard but they didn’t. Everyone pushed their work on me and expect me to pick up their slack and management is absolutely terrible. Since it was only a part time job I picked up another part time job that pays me more, offers me better benefits, gives me better hours, and will help me my professional career develop far more.
The fact that you are so demotivated at this job is a sign. You have emotionally detached yourself from the work that you should at the very least respect, but clearly you don’t. It’s time to find a new job. Don’t even tell anybody at your current job either. Get a new job and when the times comes resign or put in your two weeks.
If they offer benefits such as tuition reimbursement, take advantage of that to tee up your next gig.
Going through it right now.
Last day is July 19th. Just gotta hang on that long.
Every time the stress gets to me or someone says something demeaning to me I just say in my head “July 19th. Just gotta make it until July 19th and the next move”
My current job (financial advisor at very large firm) makes me want to put a gun in my mouth, and that’s not an exaggeration. I’m so incredibly burnt out and my effort and work ethic is zero at this point. My metrics reflect this, and I’m constantly worried about being fired. If that happened I wouldn’t be able to afford my bills and I’d probably end up killing myself. The second I turn on my computer each morning I lose all motivation and will to live.
On mornings when I don’t work, I’m full of energy and spend all day outside doing things I love. On mornings I do, I do the absolute bare minimum and sleep and eat the rest of the time because I don’t have the energy to do anything else.
Not a good spot to be in. I apply to other jobs but only receive rejection emails. No clue what to do.
Every job I’ve ever had
Oh yes !!!
Yes. I have zero expectation that any new project we’re given will be anything other than a clusterfuck from day one. Their proposals simply aren’t feasible within the time and budget allotted. There are massive design, analysis, materials, and manufacturing technical unknowns to solve on a fixed price contract. Build to print designs are sold with “minor updates” to meet entirely incompatible requirements, leading to a full redesign and pissed off customers.
If the company went under, It’d be like a massive weight off my shoulders. It would also mean they’d be unlikely to sue me into poverty for violating non-compete.
Feeling over a job often signals that it might be time to move on. Here are a few signs it’s time for a change:
1. **Lack of Growth**: If you’re not learning or developing professionally, it’s hard to stay motivated.
2. **Stagnant Pay**: Basic pay without growth opportunities can be frustrating.
3. **Burnout**: Feeling unmotivated and indifferent can indicate burnout.
It might be beneficial to start exploring other opportunities that align with your career goals and interests. Have you considered what type of job or industry you might be interested in next?
