Unlike most folks here, I liked working at Chevron. Good people, good pay, interesting work… I’m considered a high performer…but I’m so burnt out I don’t know what to do. I’ve been working basically 2 jobs for the last 3 years. I’ve reached the point where I dread coming in, looking at emails, getting IMs. My bosses have agreed it’s unsustainable, but I’ve cycled through 3 bosses in this period, with no continuity to make changes.
And, it’s clear post reorg this will all get worse. Less competent bosses with less time.
The only solutions I see are quitting or a leave of absence. Taking vacation is pointless, as I end up working 20-40% of the time anyway.
