What do you do when you feel burnt out at work?
Lately, every day feels the same and it’s starting to drain me. How do you switch things up and reset?
I used to come home and go to the park but recently I’ve been too tired to do that after work .

Exercise. Lifting weights, taking the dogs for a walk, killing an hour on the elliptical while I read my Kindle. Physical activity always helps me shake of the work stress. The endorphin boost is a nice bonus.

Even something small counts. Sit outside for 5-10 minutes. Play a song and do some stretches during it. Anything that disrupts that loop helps, and it doesn’t have to be anything big.

I have been approached by 3 separate HR people at a startup company to interview for a position. I already have a fulltime job that pays well and I only started 6 months ago too. Anyways, the pay was intriguing and the job was a high level scientific advisor so I did interviews. At the last interview, at the end I was told the job was for management but I prepared for a different kind of interview. I am waiting for an offer or rejection letter. I feel peeved that they wasted my time. Red flags?
