Breaking Point: The Truth About Burnout | Between the Lines with Palki Sharma

Are you burnt out from work or life in general? Comment below and tell us.

"Prioritizing your well-being is the winning strategy". Powerful words spoken.

Burnout main reasons are: 1. Toxic Boss 2. Overload of work 3. Pay parity 4. Unproductive meetings 5. Paying less internal increments and offering higher pay for replaced recruits 6. Traffic and commute issues to cover field jobs

After a burnout, I found that I can't carry on; so I dropped my graduation there inspite of being a topper of my city. And decided to take a fresh start after a gap of one year. It helped me in understanding my area of interest and increase my productivity.

3 years later, and much more at peace with myself, but burnouts are brutal. Everybody who’s going through this, please stay strong and stay safe. This too passes, and we’ll be better people at the end of it.

Palki, the fact that you stand by the people at the grassroots means a lot. Mark of a true leader. After Arnab if anyone has emerged powerful, its you Palki.

Very recently Narayan Murthy Sir in an interview made a point of working 70 hrs a week, CEO of OLA Bhavish Agrawal Sir supported this idea. Mam you should interview Murthy Sir and Agrawal sir, and ask them about these issues and their solutions to these issues that employees face in there daily lives.

Bravo. Here n the US its become even tougher since the cost to maintain family including child care is unmanageable along with long hours and daily commute. The expectations have become unrealistic and caused so much damage while a high percentage of employees do not wish to complain for fear of retaliation and with higher chances of similar employment in other states, it makes those who can't relocate or don't wish to suffer more. Thanks for bringing up this topic.

Exactly, I was promoted to operations manager in a huge multinational company in my mid-20s and I was working nights and also on-call 24x7. I was burned out due to lack of sleep. I thought that was the end of my career. But I found another job that pays better, no on-call and regular working hours. And my old company replaced my role with 4 people after I left.

I am so happy that someone finally found it important to talk about it! Addressing these kinds of things on a public platform itself made me feel good you know! Thank you Palki ji!

this is true Journalism, thanks for making such a video.

I have always refused to push my self to the limit and it works for me

Thank you for this news. I’m experiencing burn out and took a medical leave from Investment Banking. I worked over 2 decades in this industry. Now the company I was employed over a decade laid me off. It shows that my dedication and sacrifice meant nothing more than a headcount. We are easily replaceable. Meanwhile, I was a “valuable asset” when I was able to perform at my highest and longest…

I can literally feel the words of VIRUS from the movie 3 idiots "Tej nhi bhagoge , log tumhe kuchal ke aage nikal jaayenge."

Can someone tag Mr. Narayan Murty?

Was burnt out just before and during the pandemic.... I designed so many funeral programs and memorial keepsakes at the funeral home I worked at.... it's crazy. There weren't enough hrs in the day!!!

@palki... I left my government job because of burnout.. I was a new mom and exausted at work.. Mom Guilt all the time and I was pushing my boundaries because I wanted to prove that being a new mom doesn't make me less productive... I was all wrong.. We really need to pause and retrospect.. Life is short and It should be lived well... Much more power and love to you❤

I'm burnt out to the max. Mainly bad work demands, bad boundaries that benefits employer but to my detriment. Come Friday night at 6pm I don't answer any work calls or work colleagues who want to talk and discuss work, through to Monday morning. On my weekends I no longer spend time with friends from work, bar 2 good friends where we have made a pact - no work talk, we keep each other in check. For those two days I have reclaimed them finaly, I don't want to know about work, it's my time, family time, friend time. It has made me stress less and burnout less. I just need to move it to 5pm during weekdays. You work back late, don't get paid for that. It's going to stop one step at a time, good luck everyone

Excellent topic, story and news. I do too often felt burnout after my busy and demanding work at my workplace in a hospital. Keep up the good work Ms Palki Sharma. From, Mr W.Rani, Shillong City, Meghalaya, India.
