Boring Job Burnout

Feeling overworked and dreaming of a new job with lots of downtime? One where marathon solitaire sessions fill the time between naps and happy hours? Careful what you wish for…making 10 hours of work fill a 40-hour week ain’t all it’s cracked up to be.  If your employer is infected with the busyness bug, you’re likely to experience the delightfully paradoxical form of burnout that occurs when you’re actually underworked but everyone around you is pretending to be overworked. Tune in as we try to unpeel the paradoxical onion of boring job burnout in this episode of The Busyness Paradox. Links to stuff mentioned in the show:1:33 - Episode #25: Nixing Busywork with Niksen2:17 - Man gets $45K severance package after declaring job "too boring"13:13 - Episode #3: Are You Too Good at Your Job?22:54 - Free online courses offered by Harvard University:Web Programming with Python and JavaScriptNon-Profit Financial StewardshipJon Snow and the Cholera Epidemic of 1854Case studies in Functional GenomicsImproving your Business Through a Culture of HealthBecoming a More Resilient Leader in Turbulent Times29:21 - Episode #27: Twice The Work In Half The Hours: The Dual-Career Individual30:45 - Episode #10: The Four-Day Work WeekClick here for transcript and episode webpage Come visit us at busynessparadox.com to see episode transcripts,  blog posts and other content while you’re there!
