Glassdoor reviews mentioning “burnout” were up 32% year over year in Q1 2025, reaching the highest level since Glassdoor started tracking mentions of the word in 2016. “Fatigue,” however, was “the word of the year,” with a 41% increase in mentions in 2025.

I wasn’t surprised these words top the list but don’t have any thoughts on what to do about it. What advice do you have for someone experiencing these feelings?

Same thing, day in, day out. Yes, I am thoroughly burned out. And is clear that in my company, IAm where I will always be, zero probability of any change, aside from the obvious threat of being replaced by AI.

sigh* last week Saturday my s/o & I broke up after our 3 year relationship. & it really been affecting me negatively — not eating, autopilot mode, self isolation & diving deep into work. Today I decided to go outside, where I picked up some food to go and went to an outdoor movie by myself; where I had the realization I just really enjoy being by myself. Idk, maybe I’m just better off single after so many failed relationships/am I being dramatic? but anyone else has given up on love?

I no longer tell myself I want to be dead. Meds and therapy have helped. But I also seem to not care if I die or get a terminal illness or disease.
