Has your Boss become less Empathetic in Lockdown?
Are you feeling unsupported by your manager in lockdown? METRO spoke to Jessica Boston for some top tips on dealing with WFH Burnout and the collective experience of people dealing with bosses’ attitudes towards them changing.
Working from home for almost 12 months is taking its toll. WFH burnout is most definitely a thing and we’re feeling pretty disconnected from our colleagues – who we haven’t seen face-to-face for nearly a year. But new research shows that employees think support from their managers in this third national lockdown is starting to waver. Out of 1115 people surveyed:
53% believe their manager is less empathetic.
63% feel let down by bosses who expect the same productivity level.
48% felt leaders hadn’t checked in with them enough.
32% weren’t offered enough support for working from home.
52% say managers hadn’t noticed signs of burnout.
23% thought their own boss was suffering from fatigue and low motivation.
HERE ARE SOME TOP TIPS ON HOW TO MANAGE STRESS
Take regular breaks - Therapist Jessica Boston says: ‘Make sure you take regular breaks for your eyes and every 20 minutes you look at a blank wall for 10 seconds. ‘Every now and then, get up and go for a long walk, leave behind your phone or any devices that connect you to work or the information and just be at one with your thoughts and pay attention to them.’
Plan the day - As humans, we crave structure, so a routine is the best way to help your brain process the day in a stress-free way. Act like you have a commute. Make sure you take time to unwind after a day of work – just how you would on a commute. This will help you properly switch off for the day and feel less stressed.
