Job burnout is so prevalent today that the question isn’t whether you will experience it but when. A study by Deloitte found that even employees who are enthusiastic about their jobs are susceptible. Overall, out of 1,000 respondents, 77% said they had experienced burnout in their current position. Here are four indicators you might be feeling the burn.

1. Your Pay Doesn’t Match Your Value

There’s a lot more to job satisfaction than what’s in your paycheck, but salary is important. Obviously, you need money for food, housing, and utilities, but if you’re stressing out about what you earn, it may not be a matter of struggling to pay the bills. Instead, you may feel undervalued.

When was the last time you asked for a raise or promotion? It may be that a conversation with your boss could ease your frustration or, better yet, get you the pay bump you deserve.

2. You’re Not Being Supported

Sometimes, the source of burnout isn’t being undervalued; it’s being underappreciated. And the only thing more aggravating than not getting thanked for a job well done is not getting the support you need to do the job in the first place. If you’re feeling hung out to dry, think about getting a fresh perspective from a colleague. They may give you some tips for resources you can draw on. Or they may agree you’re getting the short end of the stick.

3. Your Current Role is Literally Not What You Signed Up For

Another source of burnout can be what The Muse calls “Shift Shock”: a new employee’s realization that the position they’re in doesn’t match the promises they received during their recruitment. The Muse’s study indicated that 72% of employees surveyed have had that feeling.

Again, the answer to this problem may be a heart-to-heart with your supervisor. The discrepancy between your job offer and your job description may be a temporary resource problem. But if you don’t get any more than a shrug, it may be time to develop an exit strategy.

4. Your Workplace is Toxic

Some cases of burnout go beyond problems with your paycheck, your job resources, and your boss. You could be suffering from a toxic work environment. Perhaps it’s office politics playing out at a cutthroat level. Even scarier, you may work at a job where harassment runs rampant. Remember: You have no obligation to stay at a job that is damaging your mental health.
