I’m NOT ungrateful I’m exhausted ‼️
Can we just take a moment to address the toxic culture with work from home jobs. I feel like work from home jobs became more stressful when most companies opt in to make it an option.
I worked in a banking call center and now in HR call center. You would think talking to your co workers would be much smoother but they are just as rude. I’m one to show others grace because I understand some days are just harder, but being talked to all day everyday as if you are not a human being is just exhausting.
Working from homes equal more micro-managing, no work life balance, and pure chaos. The sound of the phone ringing back to back makes me want to vomit. Then traveling is just impossible because you are given two huge monitors plus a computer 😭..
I don’t understand why call centers do not implement a schedule to where half of your shift is answering calls and half is off the phone such as chat. This could help prevent burnout. I literally left my banking call center because my mental health was just defeated.
Ugh then the worse part about it is having to show up to get by. My heart and passion is somewhere else. I know I was created for something more, I just don’t know how to accomplish it. 😩
This is where trusting God is tough, but I have to.

The rise of work-from-home jobs has transformed the workplace, but it often brings a unique set of challenges such as burnout and anxiety. Many workers find themselves feeling exhausted amid the expectations of increased productivity while managing the isolation of remote work. It's crucial to establish boundaries to prevent burnout and prioritize mental health. One suggestion is to adopt a hybrid work schedule that allows for breaks from constant phone interactions, enabling employees to engage in less stressful tasks like chat support. Companies should recognize the signs of employee burnout and develop initiatives to foster a healthier work environment. This might include implementing regular mental health check-ins, offering flexible hours, and encouraging employees to disconnect after work hours. Furthermore, it's essential to cultivate a culture of empathy and understanding, where employees feel valued and acknowledged. Trusting your instincts and finding purpose beyond your current job can be daunting, but it is also vital for long-term happiness. For those struggling with anxiety and burnout, reaching out for professional support or discussing concerns with a trusted colleague can be beneficial. Remember, you're not alone in this, and taking proactive steps can lead to finding a more fulfilling and balanced life.
I absolutely agree with you! I currently WFH and I get burned out too. I recently gave myself 3 days off just because. I love my job but sometimes I’m just overwhelmed from back to back calls with no breather. You’re not alone. I’ve been trying to think of ways I can work for myself. God will guide you if you ask.
