Fear of layoffs. Constant political pressure. Performance anxiety. All are constantly just below the consciousness and work to rob one of confidence and vitality.
feeling this at my agency. commonly a place people would love to work at, fine w/l balance, pay is not terrible but not exceptional. but over time i've realized that they are very cliquey and do not utilize me despite doing the work well. my therapist told me burn out isn't just being overworked but can come from being underworked/underutilized as well. not sure what your sitch is though but good luck.
Feeling that, I tend to blame it on the type of clients and work we do. (Stuck pharma side) but also I think there’s some real fatigue with the industry at large
Pro
Could be a bad cultural fit. Maybe you don’t enjoy your coworkers and vise versa. 🤷♂️
Bad fit. Good reason to shop around. Everyone loses when the energy isn’t strong
Bad fit but also how’s your personal life? I’ve felt this way and realized my personal life was a bit stagnant and with okay friendships/ I wasn’t doing a lot of new experiences so I almost was putting that on work.
Not feeling stimulated or fulfilled? Maybe a result of underutilization. However, there's only so much to squeeze out of a a 9:00 to 5:00 job. Maybe it's time to explore other avenues to fill in the gaps?
