Feeling burnt out at work? You hide it well.
A new poll found most bosses think their employees are doing great when it comes to avoiding burn-out at work. But when you ask the employees, you get a very different answer.
89% of managers said they think their workers are “thriving” right now, but only 24% of those employees agree. 76% said they’re burnt out, or just don’t care about their job.
In other words, 9 in 10 bosses think everyone’s loving it. But in reality, most people kind of dread going to work.
The poll found the top three things currently causing burn-out are constant changes, too much busy work, and high turnover.
The top thing bosses can do to help is CARE about you in a real way. Among the 24% of workers who said they’re thriving, the top reason they gave was, “My manager is invested in my success.”
And here’s one thing you and your boss probably DO align on: 63% of managers said they’re currently burnt out too.
