Rust-out happens when your work becomes so uninteresting that you turn indifferent and lose interest in it completely. It's characterized by boredom and a lack of engagement.
Both rust-out and burnout profoundly impact your productivity, mental health, and physical health. The difference? Burnout leaves you overwhelmed, while rust-out makes you feel stuck and purposeless.
Common signs indicative of rust-out include low energy, a sense of detachment from your work, feelings of frustration, and poor mental health, which can lead to physical health issues.
Rust-out disproportionately affects women, who may find themselves in roles that underutilize their talents due to gender biases, traditional expectations, and workplace discrimination.
