I got covid right before Christmas (looking suspicious as hell but whatever) I started the day after new years. At first I felt the burnout of working again but then I thought of the things I did when I was sick and how I would just be empty without working somewhere.
I have a hateful relationship with working. I hate work but I need it to not stagnate with my other obligations. I feel worse if I'm not working somewhere.
I totally relate to this. I hate working but feel guilty if I don’t work somewhere lol. My husband has a decent job so I don’t have to have a job that is this many hours but I love the extra money and Ive been here so long they really need me. The burnout is killing me though
Same here, I used to just do temp / seasonal work so I wouldn’t be stuck at one place for too long but now I have what is objectively the best job I could get even tho I hate it. I’d feel embarrassed to quit. I was so happy when we were furloughed for covid but at the same time got insanely bored of having no work
Hell my whole retirement plan includes work to do in order so I dont die at 65 from boredom.
I have a homesteading dream so that goes hand in hand with keeping busy.
If money isnt a problem why not work at a doggie daycare or something? A job that's mostly chill and doing something enjoyable.
I can tell you that I'm not going to be doing a fastfood job because I'm bored in the future. Seen aplenty of old people do that when I was a teenager... now not so much.
Is it normal to feel burnout even after a long break?
