What are your thoughts on burnout? Read a good book that just came out on Amazon this week. Just curious what you guys think about the topic and surviving claims after 10 yrs.

My thoughts are that it sucks and should be avoidable. People burn out when they are tasked with too much work. Hiring an adequate number of staff will almost always fix this problem, but too many employers are reluctant to do it because higher headcount = higher expenses = less profitability.

What was the book? I think it’s great that it’s being addressed more and given a name, still a long way to go. Most companies aren’t going out of their way to make sure employees don’t burn out, so it’s very much up to us to recognize it and how to help ourselves.

Burnout is very real. I know that I am thoroughly burned out in my current role, to the point at which I am having to struggle to keep my mouth closed at times. My major obstacle to looking for another job is being too close to fully vesting, about a year out. That represents too much in my 401k to walk away from. But once I vest, the real search will begin.

So I have been seeing a guy for 4 months. We have a pay disparity.. he earns less than I do (by quite a bit). He has mentioned a few times that he’s worried I’ll get bored of him when I know he can’t afford the same things I can. I think we are beginning to move past this, but now he’s starting to mention things like ‘I am really broke this month’, and last weekend he told me his mum has lost her job and he’ll have to probably pay her rent. I have a lot of sympathy for his situation … tbc

Journalism is the best job in the world but I feel like people are less likely to take my work seriously because I am female. So it's like they automatically think the only things I would be good at writing about are fluffy little human interest stories. I'm just a reporter like everyone else. Is there some way I can tell my supervisor that yes, I do like those stories, but I like being a serious reporter even more?

I found a company I was really excited about working at. I applied for the job and went through 5 rounds of interviews. At the end they said I was OVER qualified and they want me for a different position higher up in the company. I was super excited they then had me go through 5 more rounds, 3/5 people were the same. The interviews mostly went "didn't you get the job, I highly recommend you? I'll just put you down as a 10". After those were done they told me I was UNDER qualified. Can't win!
