The impact of burnout on the corporate world
in Psychology ·
It took a few life-altering traumas for me to finally figure out what actually matters. I had to be backed into a corner where my only options were to fold or fight back. I have a general idea of what I want, but I keep my methods flexible. My main priority is ensuring that every single day involves taking at least one step toward that goal, no matter how small. If you’re stuck in a dead-end job with zero future, stop overextending yourself. Dial your effort down to the absolute bare minimum required to stay off the unemployment line, then funnel every ounce of your remaining energy into finding what you actually want and building the skills to get there. Dealing with employers is always a power struggle; they will take everything you give them if you don't set boundaries. You have to win the mental battle first before you can handle it in reality.
