Burnout
I’m working in big company, drawing decent annual pay of 150k pa but I’m burnout. Everyday from 9am to 9pm is normal there are days I need to work past 12am to 2am. I can be on call with boss at 3am discussing work.
Recently, I tender without having any new job. My friend said I’m impulsive but I felt mentally drained.
Those management peers, take turn to talk to me asking me to reconsider my decision.
Of course there are some friends of mine thinking I’m playing trump card to get promotion or higher pay increment.
I am just purely tired. I just end work on Sunday night typing this at 1.30am. Just because I need to prepare for presentation that change timing from late afternoon to early morning, so need to work on Sunday night.
Should I just leave? Or should I retract my resignation and hang in there till I found something? Or just work till is suddenly go mental hospital?
Here are what netizens think:
- Talk to ur boss and HR about improving your workload and boundaries abt work after hours. If they dun offer any concrete steps to help u, then quit. Steps include hiring new colleague to help in your workload, pay increments and existing personnel taking over some of ur work. But realistically, they might find they hv a problem with why u didn’t step up to the work challenges. So be prepared for tat.
- perhaps the problem is the boss… i did face 2 inconsidered bosses in my working life which only 阎罗王can help them… one of them even threw a pen on my female colleague which he hired during work discussion!
- I had a friend who died in office after tremendous amount of stress, leaving his wife & 2 children (1 of them is autistic). Take a break….no point sacrificing health for money.
