Small-Scale Question Sunday for April 28, 2024

Do you have a dumb question that you're kind of embarrassed to ask in the main thread? Is there something you're just not sure about?

This is your opportunity to ask questions. No question too simple or too silly.

Culture war topics are accepted, and proposals for a better intro post are appreciated.

Parallel to the sibling, do talk to your manager about how you're doing. What you should do depends on how they react.

If they recognize that you're getting burned out and cut you some slack, then great, you're at a good place to work and stay there a while.

If they say something to the effect of, suck it up kid, here's another assignment, then it's probably time to start looking for a new job. Put together a resume, talk to some recruiters, reach out to any friends or former co-workers. You might well be surprised how much more money and lighter workload you can get at a new job.

Either way, burnout is very real, don't ignore it. Take action now, before it gets too unbearably bad.
