What is it when the job isn’t completely horrible but it drains the most energy out of you? The job isn’t hard at all. The pay is half decent. Other people would see it as an amazing spot to work at.

I can’t pinpoint what it is but my nervous system has been shot for months.

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

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?

Hi HR Professionals! I am revising our current employment application form. Per SHRM, I was just curious if any HR Professionals completely removed the following fields: social security number, recommend salary, graduation dates, military discharge info, race, maiden name like (Ms. Mrs. Ms), & criminal history questions. I was just curious what other Employers/HR Professional have done. Any information is greatly appreciated. Thank you!

It’s hard to be motivated when rounds of layoffs happen and you see all your friends leave. But one thing that’s gotten me through all of this is working out.

I’ve somehow forced myself to move while on lockdown and it’s somehow forced me to feel better. Whatever you’re doing, wherever you are: get up and move even if you don’t finish or end up going on a walk. Pls take care of yourself❤️
