Job Burnout Worksheet<\/b><\/h1>\n

Are you struggling with a decision about whether it\u2019s time to leave your job or not?\u00a0 This worksheet will help you decide if you\u2019re really burning out or if you can make some changes at your current job that make it worth sticking out.\u00a0 Write your answers in as much detail as possible.<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Control<\/i><\/b>: Do you feel you lack autonomy at work? What causes you to think that?\u00a0 For instance, is your work an always-on-call culture, with expectations that you will respond to emails and phone calls even at night or on weekends?\u00a0 Do you have enough staff to accomplish what needs accomplishing? If not, are there any steps you can take so mitigate these? <\/span>\n

    <\/span><\/li>\n

  2. Workload<\/i><\/b>: Can you feasibly accomplish your work and still do things like eat lunch and leave work on time?\u00a0 Have you successfully prioritized your tasks and figured out ways to delegate things? Are you letting perfect be the enemy of good?\u00a0 Would learning effective time management strategies make your workload manageable?<\/span>\n

    <\/span><\/li>\n

  3. Reward:<\/i><\/b> Are you getting enough <\/span>from<\/span><\/i> your job?\u00a0 Remember that rewards are both intrinsic (the intangible things that make the job itself satisfying, like being acknowledged by colleagues and clients, feeling like you\u2019re growing, etc.) and extrinsic (the things you get from the job like pay and benefits) and that we each need some of both in order to be happy.\u00a0 What do you need to be getting from your job in order to feel happy with it? Would getting a raise or promotion be enough? (If so, absolutely seek one!)<\/span>\n

    <\/span><\/li>\n

  4. Fairness:<\/i><\/b> Does praise get spread fairly evenly across all areas of your team, or are certain people given more for doing the same amount of praise-worthy work as others?\u00a0 Are there racial, gender, age, or gender identity biases? If so, you may want to start by pointing these imbalances out\u2014people are often unaware of their own biases, but tread carefully so as to avoid hurting feelings!\u00a0 You may even enlist the help of a sympathetic colleague who can say something like, \u201cI noticed that Janet contributed a lot to this program but wasn\u2019t one of the people who got a thank-you gift card for it. Can you please help me understand why that is?\u201d<\/span>
    \n<\/span>
    \n<\/span><\/li>\n
  5. Culture:<\/i><\/b> Who do you work with?\u00a0 Are there people who regularly ask how your day is going?\u00a0 Are people supportive and trustworthy? Is water cooler talk discouraged?\u00a0 Sometimes you can mitigate some of these relationship challenges by simply getting to know the others you work with a little better, but sometimes those behaviors are frowned on, or your colleagues are simply not people you can trust.\u00a0 We humans need a sense of community, so the culture of your workplace can have a huge impact on the sustainability of your job.<\/span>
    \n<\/span>
    \n<\/span><\/li>\n
  6. Values:<\/i><\/b> If you\u2019ve followed any of my social media, you\u2019ll know that this is one of my key talking points.\u00a0 A mismatch in your values and those of your workplace will burn you out in a job faster than just about anything I know.\u00a0 Did your workplace once have values that aligned with yours but those have shifted? If so, in what ways has that become apparent?\u00a0 Are the decision-makers open to suggestions and willing to make small changes? What are the current underlying motivations for decisions, and how do those feel to you?<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Deciding whether or not to leave a job can feel like a heavy burden, but be thoughtful and honest about these questions and you will have a better understanding of whether to stay or go.<\/span><\/p>\n
