The pandemic has led to a surge in both burnout and boreout among employees, as highlighted by Wharton psychologist Adam Grant. While burnout stems from excessive workload and stress, boreout arises from feelings of disengagement and lack of meaningful tasks. Employees often feel guilty for not being productive, yet struggle to discuss their lack of fulfillment with managers. Jo Payne notes that unchecked boreout can impact productivity and team morale, leading to potential turnover as employees seek more meaningful work opportunities.
"When you're burned out, you're overloaded, overstimulated and overwhelmed. When you're bored out, you're underwhelmed." - Adam Grant
