PARTNERS:
Burnout manifests itself in reduced productivity and may lead to total exhaustion, apathy and some other psychosomatic disorders. For years they were leading an active life without routine, with many changes, challenges and stimulation. In the process of searching for a first non-student job they re full of hope, ideas, values and beliefs. Once being shortlisted and selected they start struggling with the second shock: entirely new order of the day/week, routine.
In this phase we can observe process of matching between X and Y generations and more experienced employees, testing their
boundaries and assessing new resources. After some time we can define the next milestone on the path leading to work burnout: Uncertain or respectively negative future prospects After time of a full performance and effort put in the first months or years of work in the bigger structure start feeling routine and ,,deadlock” on a one position which does not correspond to their view of work, foregoing experience and expectations. These groups starts to feel frustration, apathy, negativity, routine leads to the bad habits and forgetting of the healthy diet and mental hygiene. In consequence batterry of symptoms lead to the diagnosis of clinical depression or other psychological disorders like neurosis.
