Hi Capgeminites,
Looking for job change and found this opening relavant to my current role:

Burnout is brutal, especially when you care about what you do. What’s helped me is setting firmer boundaries, taking real breaks (not just scrolling on my phone), and finding small ways to make work feel fresh again. Have you tried switching up routines or offloading tasks? Sometimes a reset helps without a full-on exit.
No. I've changed jobs a few times thinking I just need the right fit to not be overcome by burnout, but sadly that's never helped. It got to the point where I had a medical and mental health crisis and had to go on extended leave. I was away from work for three months. During that time I spoke with my doctor, I went to therapy, and now I'm on a couple pills to combat the stress, depression, and burnout. I'll admit work was not the only factor, but I think if I tried to address the burnout sooner by visiting my doctor earlier, and practicing meaningful self-care, I may have been able to avoid the health crisis I pushed myself to. I suggest speaking to a medical professional, your doctor and/or a therapist, and earnestly requesting their guidance and help to get you through this period. Good luck and all the best.
Have you talked to your manager? I recently had a discussion and informed my manager I felt overwhelmed and sometimes felt like I was doing more than 1 person’s work. I think sometimes performance punishment is very real - if you keep saying yes and taking on more tasks when asked the the work load will keep piling up. Eventually you have to say something or they will never hire more people and you will work yourself to death.
I am firmly convinced that any casualty adjuster is in the throes of burnout after three years. If they cross that benchmark, they might actually survive long enough to retire. Except they are likely to die from ulcers, heart ailments, or substance abuse before they get to retirement age. It's high stress, low pay, heavy consequences. You are dealing with people's lives and futures. You are dealing with frauds and cheats, as well as those truly injured and in need. If you can turn off your emotions and realize you will never get your claim inventory up to date, you may survive. If you can't do that, quit. You may love your job, but your job does not love you. See Insurance Broker's comments for a good example of what I'm talking about. For me, I reached the breaking point after 5 years but decided I wasn't going to let this job beat me. I've gone 15 years past that breaking point. I come to work, I go into autopilot mode, do everything I'm supposed to do on new claims, go through the old claims to see if any can be closed or settled, go home and don't give the office a second thought until I show up the next morning. That's the only way to do this job. Chances are pretty good I've been "burned out" for at least 15 years, I've just chosen to pretend I haven't.
This was exactly me 3 years ago. I left and took a lateral move at a competitor for a bit more money. Best decision ever. The new position invigorated me. I learned new things and made more connections. I was promoted after 18 months in my new job. I thought I loved my last job. Turns out, I was looking at it all wrong. I am so much happier now and burnout is long gone.
