 Stressed and burned out? Quitting your job may not help

 

The Great Resignation is set to continue, and young and burned out workers will be leading the charge. That’s according to the Deloitte Global 2022 Gen Z and millennial survey. Burnout was cited as one of the top three reasons for why young people are leaving their jobs, according to the global survey which found that some 40% of Gen Zers (ages 19-24) and 24% of millennials (ages 28-39) would like to leave their jobs within two years.   This will continue to be “a significant retention issue for employers,” Deloitte wrote, as some 46% of Gen Zers and 45% of millennials surveyed said they feel burned out due to their work environments. It may feel to us like the only way to escape the hold work has on us is by doing something dramatic, like leaving our current position altogether. Vanessa Bohns ORGANIZATIONAL BEHAVIOR PROFESSOR, CORNELL UNIVERSITY While experts told CNBC Make It burnout is felt “across the board” regardless of age, Gen Zers and millennials are more likely to feel the pain. ″As the labor shortage continues, employees are taking on more responsibilities at work, which impedes on their work-life balance and flexibility. This is a big red flag for younger generations,” said Dr. Natalie Baumgartner, a workplace psychologist and behavioral expert.  “By looking for what’s missing in their current role, younger generations are hopeful to find a better culture and flexibility fit, which in their mind, could help alleviate their current state of burnout.” But is leaving one’s job really the best solution to burnout? CNBC Make It finds out. Quitting is not a ‘cure-all’ Leaving your job may be the best solution in some situations, for example, if the workplace culture is toxic, said Dr. Katrina Gisbert-Tay, a medical doctor trained in psychology and wellbeing coach with The Coach Partnership. However, quitting is the only or best option “less often than we think,” said Vanessa Bohns, a professor of organizational behavior at Cornell University. “It may feel to us like the only way to escape the hold work has on us is by doing something dramatic, like leaving our current position altogether.” Bohns added: “In many cases, there is more we can do to change our current circumstances than we realize.” …never underestimate a company that will listen, recognize and promote change to improve areas of employee dissatisfaction. Dr. Natalie Baumgartner WORKPLACE PSYCHOLOGIST “We might assume certain requests — a more flexible work schedule, shorter weeks, a sabbatical, or just a long vacation — are non-starters at our current job, and so the only way to really change our situation is to leave it for a completely new one.” Bohns, who is also the author of “You Have More Influence Than You Think,” attributed high levels of burnout to technology, which she said has tethered people to work at all hours and “the idea that we have to … prioritize work over all else.” “The problem is that these norms are so widespread that employees may find themselves in a new job, right back in the same kind of situation they were trying to leave.”The ‘Great Resignation’ is global – and it’s shaken the labor market for good Instead, employees should consider what boundaries they can set for themselves, Gisbert-Tay added. ”[Quitting] feels like the easy way … rather than to really figure out what is going on.” “No matter what industry, job you have, you may have the same scenario. The question that I ask my clients is where is your personal agency? What are the requests that you need to make? How are you going to take care of yourself?” “For me, those are more powerful questions than asking, ‘Should I quit this job?’”  Ways to recover from burnout  Rather than taking the signs of burnout as an indication to leave your job, here are some tips to consider without making the switch: 1. Make new arrangements  If you are feeling burned out and want to quit your job, Bohns advised thinking about arrangements that would “make you happier at your current position” and ask for them. According to her research with more than 14,000 participants, she found that people tend to have an “overly pessimistic view” of how likely people are to comply with requests. “If you’re already willing to leave, there’s not much to lose, and you might be pleasantly surprised by the response,” Bohns said.  Feeling burnt out? Think of work arrangements that would make you happier at your current position and ask for them, said Vanessa Bohns, a organizational behavior professor at Cornell University.

Know your limits According to Gisbert-Tay, an important part of drawing boundaries is being “intentional” in discovering your personal limits.  “For example, what is your stop time? There will be times when your boss needs something at 7 a.m. the next day … but it’s knowing, when does it become too much for you?” She added that the limit is different for everyone and it will change from time to time.  “What you need right now in the current situation may not be what you need six months down the road.” Proactive recovery, through activities like seeing friends, spending time in nature, and accomplishing personal goals combats burnout by re-energizing us. Vanessa Bohns ORGANIZATIONAL BEHAVIOR PROFESSOR, CORNELL UNIVERSITY To cope with feeling overwhelmed at work, Gisbert-Tay also advised young workers to take stock of their time.  “Taking 30 minutes to go through your schedule, listing out the things you need to prioritize, that’s really important. You may have a million things on your schedule, but there’s going to be a top five.  3. Proactive recovery Another thing to be intentional about: taking breaks from work and using that time to engage in “proactive recovery,” said Bohns.  “Burnout makes us feel exhausted and overwhelmed. Proactive recovery, through activities like seeing friends, spending time in nature, and accomplishing personal goals combats burnout by re-energizing us.”  For Gisbert-Tay, sleep is “the mother of health” and getting enough of it is a big antidote to burnout.  “The journey of your day begins the night before and that makes a huge impact on your mood, energy levels, clarity and how you make decisions.”

大辭職將繼續，年輕和精疲力竭的工人將帶頭衝鋒。 這是根據德勤全球 2022 年 Z 世代和千禧一代調查得出的。 全球調查顯示，職業倦怠被認為是年輕人離職的三大原因之一，該調查發現約 40% 的 Z 世代（19-24 歲）和 24% 的千禧一代（28-39 歲）想在兩年內離職。       德勤寫道，這將繼續是“雇主的一個重要保留問題”，因為約 46% 的 Z 世代和 45% 的接受調查的千禧一代表示，他們因工作環境而感到筋疲力盡。     在我們看來，擺脫對我們的束縛的唯一方法可能是做一些戲劇性的事情，比如完全離開我們目前的職位。 凡妮莎·博恩斯 康奈爾大學組織行為學教授 儘管專家告訴 CNBC，無論年齡大小，“全面”都會感到倦怠，但 Z 世代和千禧一代更有可能感受到這種痛苦。 ”隨著勞動力短缺的持續，員工在工作中承擔的責任越來越多，這阻礙了他們工作與生活的平衡和靈活性。這對年輕一代來說是一個很大的危險信號，”工作場所心理學家和行為專家娜塔莉鮑姆加特納博士說。  “通過尋找他們當前角色中缺少的東西，年輕一代希望找到更好的文化和靈活性，在他們看來，這可以幫助緩解他們目前的倦怠狀態。” 但離職真的是解決倦怠的最好辦法嗎？CNBC Make It 發現。     戒菸不是“萬靈藥” The Coach Partnership 接受過心理學和健康教練培訓的醫生 Katrina Gisbert-Tay 博士說，在某些情況下，離開工作可能是最好的解決方案，例如，如果工作場所文化有害。 然而，康奈爾大學組織行為學教授瓦內薩·博恩斯說，“比我們想像的要少”，辭職是唯一或最好的選擇。 “在我們看來，擺脫對我們的束縛的唯一方法可能是做一些戲劇性的事情，比如完全離開我們目前的職位。” Bohns 補充說：“在許多情況下，我們可以做的事情比我們意識到的要多得多。”       …永遠不要低估一家會傾聽、認可和促進變革以改善員工不滿領域的公司。 娜塔莉鮑姆加特納博士 職場心理學家 “我們可能會假設某些要求——更靈活的工作時間表、更短的周、休假或只是一個長假——對我們目前的工作來說是不可能的，所以真正改變我們狀況的唯一方法就是把它留給全新的。” Bohns 也是《你比你想像的更有影響力》一書的作者，她將高度的倦怠歸因於技術，她說技術束縛了人們隨時隨地工作，以及“我們必須……優先考慮工作的想法。別的。” “問題在於，這些規範如此普遍，以至於員工可能會發現自己找到了一份新工作，又回到了他們試圖離開的那種情況。”   “大辭職”是全球性的——它徹底動搖了勞動力市場 Gisbert-Tay 補充說，相反，員工應該考慮他們可以為自己設定什麼界限。“[退出] 感覺像是一種簡單的方法……而不是真正弄清楚發生了什麼。” “無論你從事什麼行業、工作，你都可能遇到同樣的情況。我問我的客戶的問題是你的個人代理在哪裡？您需要提出哪些要求？你打算怎麼照顧自己？” “對我來說，這些問題比問‘我應該辭掉這份工作嗎？’更有力。”      從倦怠中恢復的方法  與其將倦怠的跡像作為離職的跡象，不如考慮以下一些技巧，而無需進行轉換： 1.做出新的安排  如果您感到筋疲力盡並想辭職，Bohns 建議您考慮一下“讓您在當前職位上更快樂”的安排並提出要求。 根據她對 14,000 多名參與者的研究，她發現人們往往對人們遵守請求的可能性有“過度悲觀的看法”。 “如果你已經願意離開，那麼就沒有什麼可失去的了，而且你可能會對反應感到驚喜，”Bohns 說。  感覺筋疲力盡？康奈爾大學組織行為學教授瓦內薩·博恩斯 (Vanessa Bohns) 說，想想那些能讓你在當前職位上更快樂的工作安排，並提出要求。 辛特豪斯製作 | 石頭 | 蓋蒂圖片社 鮑姆加特納還強調，年輕工人“必須在工作場所倡導和表達他們的需求”，而不是“認輸”。  “確定分享反饋的解決方案和機會，與領導層和人力資源部門合作解決可能解決離職願望的根本問題。”   她補充說：“他們可能仍然選擇離開，但永遠不要低估一家願意傾聽、認可和促進變革以改善員工不滿領域的公司。”            2. 了解你的極限 根據 Gisbert-Tay 的說法，劃定界限的一個重要部分是“有意識地”發現你的個人極限。  “例如，你的停止時間是什麼時候？有時你的老闆會在第二天早上 7 點需要一些東西……但它知道，什麼時候對你來說太過分了？” 她補充說，每個人的限制都不同，並且會不時改變。  “在目前的情況下，你現在需要的可能不是你六個月後需要的。” 通過與朋友見面、在大自然中度過時光和實現個人目標等活動來積極恢復，通過重新激發我們的活力來對抗倦怠。 凡妮莎·博恩斯 康奈爾大學組織行為學教授 為了應對工作中的不堪重負，Gisbert-Tay 還建議年輕員工好好把握自己的時間。  “花 30 分鐘來完成你的日程安排，列出你需要優先考慮的事情，這非常重要。你的日程表上可能有一百萬件事情，但會有前五名。        3. 主動恢復 另一件需要注意的事情是：從工作中休息並利用這段時間進行“主動康復”，Bohns 說。  “倦怠讓我們感到筋疲力盡和不知所措。通過與朋友見面、在大自然中度過時光和實現個人目標等活動來積極恢復，通過重新激發我們的活力來對抗倦怠。”  對於 Gisbert-Tay 來說，睡眠是“健康之母”，充足的睡眠是消除倦怠的一大良藥。  “你一天的旅程從前一天晚上開始，這會對你的情緒、能量水平、清晰度以及你如何做決定產生巨大影響。”
