It’s no secret that burnout is one of the most common workplace diseases (along with boredom) in modern organizations. In fact, this recent study found that 95% of human resource leaders admit employee burnout is sabotaging workforce retention. So beware of the rapid workforce turnover before you take on a job offer.
It can be easy to normalize working long hours or being under an extreme amount of stress, especially if we’ve been doing it for a long time or all our colleagues are in the same boat. Your work life balance suffers, and every day feels like an infinite 24-hour-long bender you can barely survive, until tomorrow comes.
