Super pagod na ko sa trabaho ko, burned out malala. I wanna take a rest, a vacation, pero kaylangan ko ng pera. Gusto kong mag palit ng work, and mag resign pero at the same time mabait yung client ko and malaki mag pasahod, pero feeling ko underpaid ako kase lahat ng tasks saken, work ko pang work ng tatlong tao. Admin, scheduling, customer service, pero maliit pa lang kase company nya. I’m earning 2,000 AUD. Iniisip ko ganto na nga kita ko nag rereklamo pa ko, pero super nakaka burn out talagaaa!!!

Anong ginagawa nyo pag ganito nafi-feel nyo?

  • Knowing the tasks involved, underpaid nga. Try asking your boss for a salary bump?

    Wala ka ba PTO or Sickleaves? Use those pag feeling burnt out ka na.

    Also if you feel like giving up, isipin mo na lang how hard it is to find a job nowadays, lalo now mas madaming lowballers na client and pababaan pa ng presyo ang mga online workers

    Wala eh, madali naman sya mag approve ng leave pero the business can’t run ng maayos without me. Nahihiya akong mag ask ng raise kase super bait ng client ko hahaha

    Ask for it, you never know unless you ask dba and professional matters naman yung salary increase hehe. If you provide huge value for the client, a bump wont hurt.

    I will ask for it, thank youuu🥹❤️

    Go po, balitaan mo kami dito how it went. And if the salary bump kinda reignite your fire in terms of "work".

    Ask for it mhie! Make sure lang na prepared ka to justify it. If i-grant, thank you! If not, ask him, how you can achieve the salary. Or lipat na :)

  • No amount of money can compensate a burned out person. I’ve been there. Lalo kapag same thing everyday. Minsan di kaya ng “be grateful” yung pakiramdam. It’s like selling soul instead of time and skills. Take a vacation leave or Travel while working.

    You need to breathe. Comeback with a bigger goal in mind. You’re just being prepared for such bigger things in life.

    This so reaaal! Kahit ilang beses kong sabihin na “be grateful” wala talaga, maybe I really neex a vacation.

  • Try mo mag 2 week leave. Saglit na pause at makakapag isip ka rin.

  • Magleave at magbakasyon ka. Have something to look forward to.

  • Any one or more of the following: negotiate pay, go on leave, find a new client/s (yung flexi-time, output-based, at hindi required online everyday).

    I am also considering that, parang mas ok kase kapag output-based. Thankyouu❤️

  • I was in the same situation as you. Tinanong ko sarili ko, kung bayaran ako ng $15 per hour or $20 per hour, will it make things better? The answer is no.. hindi masosolusyonan yung pagod ko kasi ako lang din ang inaasahan so hindi ako makapag leave. So nag resign na lang ako kasi umabot na sa point na nakakapag leave na lang ako pag nacoconfine ako (twice last year nangyare).

    Yun lang sobrang hirap humanap ng bago. Supportive naman asawa ko kahit di naman kami mayaman..sabi nya kung wala talaga mahanap agad, try ko na lang daw muna maximize yung oras mag pahinga. Ngayon na kasi final week ko sa client ko. Kahit nanay ko naaawa na din sakin kasi nung pasko at bagong taon di ako nakasipot sa mga ganap dala ng trabaho at minsan natutulala na lang ako after shift sa super drain.

    So ikaw try mo tanungin sarili mo, will a raise make things better? Will it motivate you? Kung yes, ask for a raise. Kung no, assess mo options mo carefully kasi ang hirap talaga humanap new work. Pili ng lesser evil kumbaga- mawalan ng trabaho o mawala sa sarili? 😅🥴
