"Burnout doesn't happen overnight. It's a gradual process, and recognizing the early warning signs is crucial. For me, this might look like feeling constantly exhausted, having difficulty concentrating, or becoming easily irritated with customers and colleagues. If you notice these signs, don't ignore them. Addressing burnout early on is much easier than trying to recover from a full-blown breakdown. Remember, your well-being is just as important as your work performance.

I'm thankful that my supervisor's door is always opened for me to discuss anything that might concern me. However, sometimes we choose not to openly discuss it in fear of judgment that you cannot handle the workload, or worse still, came out as if you're whining. Nevertheless, it's important to identify and accept if you are suffering a burnout because it needs to be addressed before your performance starts to hit rock bottom. Nowadays, I celebrate small wins. So that I stay motivated. All the best to everyone!

Be Honest and Professional: Explain your feelings of burnout honestly, but also professionally. Use “I” statements to focus on your experience (e.g., “I’ve been feeling overwhelmed with the current workload”).

Before approaching your supervisor, make a list of the areas where you are facing issues. Understand your co-workers and identify those who excel in specific areas; you can use them as role models. Ask your supervisor to help you work with these individuals to improve your skills. In my experience, reporting managers have been very helpful in improving my skills and providing assistance when needed, often explaining how to handle tasks effectively.

Before approaching your supervisor, take some time to gather your thoughts. Make a list of the specific challenges you're facing, the impact they're having on your work, and any potential solutions you've considered.

There was a time when I felt burned out because everything became overwhelming. I decided to approach my supervisor to be transparent about my situation. Before making this decision, I took some time to ensure I found the right moment to speak with them calmly and respectfully, without catching them off guard.

Thank you for meeting with me today. I wanted to discuss some concerns I've been experiencing recently. Lately, I've been feeling extremely overwhelmed and exhausted, which has been affecting my ability to perform at my best. For instance, last week I missed an important deadline because I was trying to juggle multiple projects simultaneously. Additionally, I've noticed that my creativity and problem-solving skills have diminished. I believe this is due to burnout. I want to emphasize that I'm not blaming anyone for this situation. I'm simply seeking support to help me manage my workload more effectively and find ways to prevent. I'm open to discussing potential solutions, such as adjusting my workload, prioritizing tasks differently.

Según la Teoría de Frederick Herzberg, agotamiento laboral estaría relacionado con aspectos higiénicos del trabajo, y no con factores de motivación. Podríamos empezar a buscar aspectos en este área, es posible que la persona insatisfecha o agotada por sobrecarga de trabajo, por relaciones interpersonales o justamente por la calidad de la supervisión. Tener una comunicación efectiva con la supervisión podría ayudar, se podrían plantear rever procesos para poder mejorar división de tareas, charlas cortas sobre el trabajo a realizar y su coordinación puede mejorar las relaciones interpersonales, buscando un trabajo sinérgico y no la competencia entre pares

Supervisors in most of the cases just don't care. So take care about yourself, and go for a short vacation. 3 days weekend, let's say somewhere in the mountains, will do the miracle.

The story for the roll I play as a FSR is sometimes filled with stressful assignments and other times requires a elevated amount of patients. I try to always know the equipment, The expected work scope to be accomplished, the past history, and the geographical location as well as the personal supporting the project. The job has a starting point and a ending point. If an FSR starts the project they should be ready to finish the project. If something was to come up and I felt stress creeping into the project after I had profiled activities, I would contact my Manager for assistance in brainstorming the cause of the stress riser and move forward with the problem solving skills that him and I possess to come up with a realistic solution.

I have experienced severe burnout, but felt like I couldn’t communicate with my manager at the time. I was preparing to leave a hard built career of 9 years to start fresh, taking a pay cut, losing seniority, and moving industries. It was a difficult time. I sought after mentors from previous leadership within the company, people I trusted, and checked internal postings daily. If communication were an option with my manager at the time, it would have made things easier. I encourage anyone experiencing burnout to find a way to open up the conversation and get it on the table. Then know that you own the path forward and the steps you take.

Discuss burnout with your supervisor by scheduling a private meeting. Be honest about your feelings and challenges. Explain how burnout affects your work and well-being. Propose solutions like adjusting workload, taking time off, or reassessing priorities. Emphasize your commitment to the job and desire to find a mutually beneficial solution.
