1.What is job burnout?

As defined in Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary, Job Burnout is?"exhaustion of physical or emotional strength or motivation."

The job stress may be rooted in overwork. It could also be caused by other frustrations such as lack of recognition from your boss, feeling unaccomplished, not getting the promotions you feel you deserve or aren't receiving the proper compensation.

If you are in the wrong career or job, you will be frustrated. It could be that you are facing an environmental issue.? The job or career is right for you but you are playing in the wrong environment and vice versa.

No one should be working all the time. Are you a workaholic or do you love your job so much that you are having difficulty in separating from it??

On his or her deathbed, no one ever said, 'I wish I had spent more time in the office' is a quote that is attributed to Paul Tsongas and others.?
