hoping it doesn't last too long!

Definitely. Heard from my former co-workers from my previous company who were working there for more than 12 years and who were already known to have established their names in the industry were laid off when the Pandemic started. The company sales dropped at 80% and they cannot afford to pay their salaries so they have to let them go leaving those newly hired managers and supervisors to train and monitor their remaining staff. That was in Dubai when the economy plummeted.

Took LOA last year, multiple months. Recovered from burnout driven by long hours during covid. But feel like I'm now experiencing burnout in a different form. Don't feel drained but I'm just unmotivated to do anything in life and work. I don't want to eat, exercise, go places, or work. I don't want another break from work, I want to keep doing things (eg not so drained I want to take months off) but this seems like burnout and I don't know what to do.
