You’re Burnt Out, But Still Saying “All Good” on Slack

Let’s be honest:

You show up to work, attend the standups, reply “sure!” to last-minute tasks, and add a cheerful thumbs up on Slack.

But under the surface? You’re barely holding it together.

Turns out, you’re not alone. According to Gallup, 41% of employees feel stressed every single day. That’s not occasional stress — that’s daily, relentless pressure.

And yet, we keep nodding through Zoom calls, pretending everything’s fine.

It’s not.

Why You’re Quietly Struggling

You’ve normalised chaos:
Tight deadlines? Hustle culture.
Back-to-back meetings? Just “adulting.”

You fear speaking up:
Especially when you’re new, ambitious, or afraid of being labelled “not tough enough.”

You never learned how to ask for support:
There’s no guide. Just vague “talk to HR” advice and the hope that someone notices before you snap.

So you stay silent. But silence can turn chronic.

What This Hidden Stress Is Doing to You

Here’s what sneaky burnout actually looks like:

• Small things irritate you

• Sleep doesn’t help, you’re still exhausted

• You dread work even on “light” days

• You feel dull, disconnected, and unlike yourself

This isn’t just a rough patch. It’s burnout building slowly, and if you don’t address it, it can convince you that you hate your job, when really, you’re just exhausted.

How to Actually Deal With It (Not Just Meditate)

Here’s how to take back control:

Identify the Real Triggers
Is it unclear expectations? Lack of support? Constant context switching?

Mentoria’s programme helps you pinpoint what’s off and what you genuinely need from your work life.

Speak With Someone Who Gets It
Not your friend who tells you to “just quit,” but a counsellor who’s been through burnout and bounced back. With Mentoria, you get career guidance that’s empathetic, practical, and judgement-free.

Create a Real Plan
Sometimes, setting boundaries helps. Sometimes, switching roles is key. Sometimes, the environment is the problem, not you.

Whatever your next move, make it from a place of clarity, not burnout.

Your Job Shouldn’t Cost You Your Sanity

Feeling daily stress is a red flag, not a rite of passage. You deserve support, better systems, and a workplace that doesn’t treat your peace of mind as optional.

And you don’t have to wait for a breakdown to get help.

Mentoria was built for this moment when your inbox is full, your brain’s fried, and you’re wondering, “Is this just how it is now?”

Spoiler: It doesn’t have to be.

Let’s figure it out together.
