Swimmod_Luna Posted May 24, 2018 Posted May 24, 2018 I was watching a SciShow video where they talked about this scale that some researchers had made to test people's level of burnout. The actual scale is only available if you pay for it but I found a free version based on that scale. https://www.mindtools.com/pages/article/newTCS_08.htm I scored a 58. The highest you can get is 75. My score means that "You are at severe risk of burnout – do something about this urgently." I really need a new job. I wonder if the place that e-mailed me last week saying they would "contact me early next week" about the position is still gonna call or if they're just gonna ghost me. Wonder if I should call them. I also retook the test imagining I was still at my last job, like around November or December before I got fired. Scored a 53.
NaBarney Posted May 24, 2018 Posted May 24, 2018 Change is good. Move back home and work part time at Kroger for a year. Relax and have the time of your life. Return to your career with renewed vigor.

Return to your career with renewed vigor. Why would I want to work at Kroger the closest one is like 2 hours away. Legit though I think the only thing keeping me from moving home is I have too much stuff and not enough space in my old bedroom. Like I joke with my parents about them finishing the basement so I can live there and go back to school and work some random part-time job. But if they were to actually finish the basement and set it up like a little apartment I probably actually would move back in. I just need my own space beyond a single bedroom.

"early next week" is a bit vague, but I would go with calling them Wednesday if you still haven't heard anything back. EDIT: Wait, is "next week" THIS week? In that case I would call them today.

Yeah, this week. I was gonna call later today.
Swimmod_Luna Posted May 24, 2018 Author Posted May 24, 2018 OK I called she said she was wrapping some things up right now and will be "sending some things out" to me within about an hour. My god if I don't get an offer at this point I'm going to be so pissed getting strung along is way worse than just getting ghosted.

Raptorpat Posted May 24, 2018 Posted May 24, 2018 I got a 44 but I definitely think it's more "burn out on life" than "burn out on career" 1
Ginguy Posted May 24, 2018 Posted May 24, 2018 I scored a paltry 34. I imagine it is still slightly elevated having just come off from an election, and I imagine it will go higher the closer we get to the general in November.

She did say that they liked me and they may have a similar position opening soon, but who knows if that's true and if it is true how soon "soon" actually is.
SlappyKincaid Posted May 25, 2018 Posted May 25, 2018 For my current job, I got a 41, but most of that translates to "my hours are not ideal and I need more money, and am coming off of having literally no money, still" so, grain of salt. But then I re-did it imagining I was still trapped in my previous job, and got a 70. Considering I was on the verge of suicide while at that job, and at times a murder-suicide... And I'm not joking in the slightest about that... Even if it is click-baity, I think it probably is sort of useful to self-diagnose something you've been thinking about a lot but haven't committed to dealing with in any meaningful way.
