The Challenge of Recognizing Career Burnout
Many individuals find themselves giving their all to their work, expecting fair compensation in return. However, companies have limitations in terms of the rewards they can provide, leading to a sense of frustration and resentment. These feelings arise from the mismatch between personal investment and company response. Gender differences also play a role in how burnout is perceived, with women often facing distinct challenges. Establishing boundaries and understanding the underlying causes of burnout are key to navigating such situations.
