Used to think of burn out as a weakling thing, but i have to admit the job doesnt channel the same energy as before. Its become stale, and is starting to feel like a drag. How does burnout present, and what can i do to get things back under control?

    You stop caring to argue your point.

    Someone does a big presentation.

    Back of your head: “Well that’s obviously a terrible idea for X, Y, and Z reasons.”

    You keep quiet and let it blow up instead of trying to fix the process as it’s being implemented.

      This. My technical skills have not been replicated across the enterprise, so the weight of expectation is substantial. Not for lack of trying to transfer knowledge on my part, mind you. But there is a gulf between myself and the people around me.
