Notice Period

I feel perpetually burnt out these days. A few weeks in office and crave a holiday. Is it just me? Earlier, used to feel so fresh at work. I’m lacking motivation now. What’s wrong with me?

Everyday i wake up with no motivation to work. Spend most of my day trying to gather any will i have to get something done and just wait for the evening standup. After which i have no energy to do anything since all was lost trying to ( not necessarily doing ) work. Can anyone relate? Or gone through it? How do you even fix it? PS: don't suggest grass is greener on other side and how there are jobless people in the world...

I am currently working as a senior engineer at a startup (yoe 6+). Initially things were good , but from the last few months The workplace turned toxic and all the nasty things started happening around me. The burn out was deteriorating mental and physical health, so i lost my patience and resigned. Making this ama , so that I can help someone who is going through the same situation.

I am preparing for the Staff engineer role. Have put my resignation without any offer in hand due to being highly underpaid, no recognition towards my high-value work, poor management, toxic work culture and work-life balance. I lose all my motivation to study gauzing at the things I am yet to study for the interviews. I don't want to settle with another mediocre company and stay under paid just like today. At the same time I don't have any monetory reserve to feel safe on financial side. Please help me with your words and past experiences of being in a similar situation.

I worked at an early stage startup with really toxic culture and left my job because of that, now it's been one month I just wake up eat and sleep and feel like doing nothing, Although I know at some point I have to resume back but when ever I sit back to document my work prepare my portfolio I just feel no motivation to do so, Is something wrong with me?? Has anyone faced something like this before? How did you come out of it?

Hey folks, I’ve taken few leaves to connect with family and relax but I’m feeling guilty for not working. I see slack and emails being exchanged and that makes me feel I’m not doing enough and it will impact my appraisal. So essentially I’ve taken leaves but unable to enjoy which was the purpose of taking leaves. Does anyone else relate to this? How do y’all cope with this? Any tips?

So I have been doing leetcode and DSA topics over and over from past 15-20 days as I decided now I seriously want to switch. Today I was totally free in office hours (totally WFH ) , I didn't study any new topic , didn't do a single code as bs man hi nhi kr rha tha . I just wanted to lay down and rest Now at the night 12 :00 am I am feeling guilty 😭😭😭😭

I have an offer and 26 days remaining on my notice, spent last 2 months of my notice applying to jobs. Not getting a single call. Even now when only 27 days remaining, getting only rejections. What to do?

In the recent performance review, shitty manager gave bad review. Though worked very hard the last whole year. Brought this to skips notice, but he's not ready to hear what I have to say, just speaks what manager has to say ( probably not to hamper his relationship with the manager). This manager is very careless and has no idea what's going on in the team.. Other colleagues who did less than equal to work as mine got better rating than me due to their manager being good. Lost all hope and motivation to work. What should I do?? If I quit now the market conditions are too bad. Did not learn anything much in this shit company.. Looking for advice..
