21 Employee Burnout Posts To Push You Through Your Late-Week Work Slump (November 7, 2025)

TGIF, corporate robots. You've graduated from corporate zombie, because we've all become apathetic to our work endeavors and dream of 5 PM when we can hit the hay and stop making small talk with our least favorite coworker.

Employee burnout is especially prevalent right now, and that's because the holiday season is upon us. All we want to think about is that big scoop of buttered mashed potatoes with extra gravy, a turkey leg the size of a football, and canned cranberry with extra red 40. Instead of chowing down on a Thanksgiving feast, we're looking at a screen without blue light glasses and counting down the minutes until happy hour. But hey, it could be worse, right?

Let's run with that idea. The thought of work being in our lives until we're too old to enjoy the rest of life is pretty bleak, so we think it's important to make the most out of it. Go to that holiday party and make small talk with Brenda from reception. But for the love of everything that is good for you, do not agree to an office-wide White Elephant gift exchange. If you know, you know.
