Some of the top contributions of feeling burnt out include:
#1 - The demand to always be "on"
#2 - High volume of content creation
#3 - Unrealistic expectations
#4 - Lack of career growth

Is there anything else missing from that list?

I’d also add constant platform changes and pressure to maintain an online persona or online brand. That, plus negative feedback, really adds to the emotional toll and burnout.

Interesting, I thought the signs I was burning out was is when I have a breakdown in the bathrooms at work…. Or in my shower at 2:30 a.m. I guess I need to do a better job of recognizing the warning signs of burnout.

I'd add unclear direction/lack of direction to the mix. There's so much to do at any given time, and yet my manager never seems to have a concrete plan in place, so I'm left to my own devices when it comes to figuring out what to prioritize. It makes me feel like I'm always spinning my wheels because when she does finally chime in, it's usually to tell me to focus on anything other than what I've been doing...

So, recently got put on a PIP after six months at my new job., two days after I told my boss and HR I recently learned I have a cognitive disability caused by an illness. The PIP was mostly because I forgot some deadlines, but also they said I need to be more professional in emails (even though others use zero punctuation and a lot of emojis. To clients.) and simultaneously ask more questions and ask fewer questions. Should I just assume this is unattainable and look for a new job again?

CTR, contracts and department overhaul

our marketing dept is undergoing a complete overhaul. under old leadership, a $75k 12-mo contract was signed to a marketing group that handles our SEO, blog and everything Google Ads. All things I can and am in training to do. Current CTRs on G ads seem pitiful at no more than 0.75%. My meta ads coast around 4-6%. During this overhaul, would it be wise to not renew our contract, and negotiate for me to take over these roles and leverage a raise?
