Lesson 24
3. How pervasive and how serious is the problem of boreout in the US according to Rothlin and Werder?
A third of all U.S. workers struggle with 'boreout.' But there are remedies
By Marilyn Gardner
As a result of excessive and prolonged stress, a state of emotional, mental, and physical exhaustion, also known as burnout, comes into being. Your interest or motivation that led you to take on a certain role in the first place begin to wane when you feel overwhelmed and unable to meet constant demands.
Lesson 24
Boreout is the new office disease. According to some researches, about 15 percent of office staff in the US are on the way to boreout. Based on their studies, if an employee says “yes” to four or more of the following 10 questions, he/she could have the problem of boreout. 1. Do you complete private tasks at work? 2. Do you feel underchallenged or bored? 3. Do you sometimes pretend to be busy? 4. Are you tired after work even though you experience no stress in the office? Are you unhappy with your work? 6. Do you find your work meaningless? 7. Could you complete your work more quickly than you are doing? 8. Are you afraid of changing your job because you might take a salary cut? 9. Do you send private emails to colleagues during working hours? 10. Do you have little or no interest in your work?
Burnout can decrease your productivity and suck up your energy, which only leaves you feeling more and more helpless, hopeless, cynical and resentful. You may even come up with the conclusion that you have nothing more to give. We have days when feeling bored, or unappreciated; when the dozen balls we keep hanging in the air aren’t noticed, not to mention rewarded; when getting out of bed requires our tremendous determination. If you too often feel like this, however, you may be performing with the phenomena of burnout.
A. he lacks after-work time to commit to it B. he lacks strong work enthusiasm C. he does not have enough funds D. he does not have work experience in that field
Lesson 24
2. Why is she dissatisfied with the job? How does she fill empty moments?
She thinks that work is slow. She finds limited opportunities to take on more duties. She fills empty moments by emailing friends and working on freelance writing assignments.
Lesson 24
According to specialists, the circumstances of burnout always go through the following five stages: 1. End of honeymoon: not caring at all about work 2. Fuel shortage: feeling drained and tired and often having nightmares 3. Chronic symptoms: often suffering from headache, chest distress,on, irritability and lack of energy and appetite. 4. Appearance of crisis: susceptible to despair, self-torment and obsession. 5. Hitting the wall: job and even life in danger
Lesson 24
3. According to workplace specialists, employees’ sensible response to underemployment in the present situation is ____.
A. noticing their boredom and thinking about what they can add to their job B. devising smart strategies to look busy C. quitting the unchallenging job D. telling the boss in a direct way about their dissatisfaction with the job
Lesson 24
4. Megan Rothman took the position of a marketing copywriter because ____.
A. she really liked the job B. she was told that she would wear many hats C. the pay was much higher than the average D. she wanted to clear up the debt
Lesson 24
3.As unemployment rates soar, Haase, Rothman, and others who feel underworked are quick to express appreciation for having a job and a paycheck. (Line 1, Para. 9) 哈泽、罗斯曼等等一些感到没有充分发挥工作才能的职员由 于失业率大幅飚升,能有一份工作和薪水便会十分感激了。
It is not only burnout in the job, which lead to discontent and illness, but also boreout from the other extreme. As a new office disease, boreout leads to the feelings of disinterest, listlessness and tiredness. Outsiders cannot easily diagnose its syndrome because boreout people often develop behavioral strategies for looking as if they are pretty occupied thus excluded from more assignments. .
