Yeah. I get burnt out more quickly on mindless projects. And being around dumb people.

I didn't mean the federal practitioners. I meant the clients. Being around dumb or unmotivated clients is incredibly depressing.

@D2- federal practitioners are dumb? Haven't heard. What's up with that?

What do you mean by burnt out?

That feeling is completely normal.

Oh yeah. All the fed folks I've worked with are just as sharp as the commercial folks.

OP would love to hear more about what's on your mind. What prompted this post? Project going no where? Not getting credit for your work?

I'm fed and in the process of recovering from burn out

Feel the same way OP. Clients suck--lazy, nasty, entitled, and/or incompetent. Plus federal work in general is boring af
