179. Trapped in the Job: Survival Strategies for Corporate Burnout
Manage episode 505157483 series 2954344
The jobs report confirms what many already suspected: employment opportunities are scarce, forcing many professionals to remain in positions they might otherwise leave. We explore practical strategies for surviving and finding happiness when changing jobs isn't an option.
• Understanding the physical and emotional symptoms of burnout
• Setting boundaries by blocking calendar time and using "do not disturb" settings
• Viewing workplace relationships as bank accounts that need regular deposits
• Accepting what can't be changed and adapting your approach accordingly
• Taking control of your schedule by planning strategic vacations during slower periods
• Finding daily micro-joys to create bright spots in challenging workdays
• Considering "quiet quitting" as a legitimate approach to work-life balance
• Questioning societal expectations about work, success, and happiness
