Stop the train I want to get off...

I’ve been burnt out before but this has caught me by surprise. I used to love my job. Now I can’t stand to be there and I’m sick of the politics. Burn out usually goes away like a fog lifting but maybe this time I’ll just walk away. I keep thinking of that sound in Mario kart when you hit a banana peel and spin completely out. That’s me right now

Workplace politics is necessary.

Maybe learn to understand how it works?

@midnightsun I think I understand it a little too well. It’s a toxic environment atm with overworked people in a job that exposes you to a lot of vicarious trauma. The perfect storm for burn out

@Notladylike have financial means to quit the job? It looks like it's not doing you any good

@midnightsun Yeah it’s just figuring out what I want to do. It might come to me if I spend another week gardening ☺️

@Notladylike good luck.
