Had a heart to heart talk with my director today. Been feeling overwhelmed and burnt out since my last job and trying to onboard into this new job (started 3 mths ago). I didn’t have any break between jobs so I realized I burned out quick here. It’s usually not my thing to be too honest in a professional setting but I needed him to know bc my performance was affected. We brainstormed how we can work together to make this a better experience for me. Hopefully he was genuine and doesn’t fire me!

Just came here to offer support OP. I have had burnt out before and I am also vary of managers based on my experience. I had a horrible experience but
I am hoping your manager is genuine and they are able to support you.
Sending you lots of good vibes

Also coming here to offer support! It’s been a tough couple of years with covid and I can only imagine your transition from one job to another without any break in between. Take care of yourself even if it means taking a leave of absence or a couple sick days on top of the strategy that you and your Director discuss.

Here to support the cause. Tbh the covid work environment has been fraught with burnout for a wide variety of reasons. Nothing to feel bad about and any manager with their head on their shoulders vs elsewhere should be sensitive to and genuine when helping people work through this

like

offering support as well because i was in your exact position not too long ago! if your manager is a good manager, they’ll fully support you and understand. and you’ll learn a level of empathy to carry with you when dealing with your own direct reports who experience similar things.

what’s been important and effective with my manager is providing updates around my progress and how i’m feeling whenever we have our 1:1’s. you’re feeling burned out, so you need to take action/make changes to start feeling differently. keep track of what you’re doing and how you’re feeling so you can share your progress with them. they’ll appreciate it, and you’ll start to feel better just by seeing your progress!

Curious what your manager said and what possible solutions might be? I’m basically in this same situation and it’s so hard constantly

I know I'm in the minority here (and I swear this isn't a brag) but is anyone else less stressed this busy season working from home, and finding issues focusing because of it?
