How To Tell If You Are Burnt Out At Work

Increased Irritability And Impatience

Increased stress and inefficient maintenance of stress causes increased irritability and impatience in individuals experiencing burnout. Irritability manifests towards colleagues and can develop into extreme outbursts and heated arguments. This irritability can often arise from feelings of worthlessness, as symptoms of burnout impact productivity and motivation. Irritability and impatience can become major stressors in personal and professional relationships. Stress can cause individuals to lose their cool and participate in unwarranted conflicts. These conflicts can have permanent detrimental effects on relationships, both at home and at work. Persistent feelings of irritability and impatience may grow over time, further perpetuating the damaging cycle of burnout.
