Burnout is a common thing for many people in their workplace, but what is burnout? Have you ever felt so drained physically and emotionally down at your place of work? this is a result of burnout, it happens when you have too much workload on you or you find yourself in a working place full of toxic people.
A workaholic working under someone in Nigeria will experience burnout, especially when you are working under small companies or small business owners, they will kill you with work, it reminds me of when I was teaching, a teacher left without notice, and her class was merged with mine.
I was told it was only going to be for a short time until they employed a new teacher for the class but the moment my boss realized I was doing a good job taking care of the two classes, she relaxed and didn't want to employ a new teacher yet she did not increase my salary, If it was just 2 classes, won't it have been a little better? I had to teach the whole primary sector computer science too!
As if I was born to work, after the stress in school, I will still go and take some pupils private lessons in their house, and there was no rest day for me cos I work on weekends too... The workload was too much for my small head but I persevered.
What are the things that made me look forward to going to work daily
Money: This is the most important thing in the world we live in now, without it comes a lot of problems and depression, so no matter the burnout or stress at work, it is something that gives me the motivation to always go to work.
Building good relationships with colleagues: Work will be less stressful if we are on good terms with our colleagues, the gist and little play mean a lot to keep sane... I once worked in a carton factory and I had 5 colleagues, we stopped seeing it as work and even started competing with one another to see who was the fastest in unpinning the cartons or gumming it... so a good rapport with colleagues would reduce the burnout too.
Good sleep: This is something that many people abuse, they will work tirelessly all day and when they get home, instead of sleeping, they will stay awake till midnight chatting or watching film, this is one of the easiest way to increase the burn out, you won't be productive at work the next day cos you didn't let your body have a good rest.
Having a goal: Setting a target is another way to inspire oneself, you can't serve someone forever, you must have a target you want to reach to build yourself too, so the time you spend working for others won't burden you much because you know your destination.
