If you're doing your job like that at work, but you're more likely to be annoyed with your family when you get home from work, it's worth doubting 'ToastOut'.
'Toast-out', which is not obvious on the outside but is exhausted on the inside, is a new term that refers to a state just before 'burn-out' in which you feel extremely tired while being too absorbed in work. It was also known as a meme through social media this year.
If you can't deal with the toastie situation wisely, you're likely to suffer from burnout. It is analyzed that this condition has increased among young people who have poured out their energy due to the craze for 'live just alive'.
According to a report released last month by the LG Management Institute, Millennials in Korea are facing mental health crises, especially those in their 30s who experience burnout and depression more often than other generations, and their mental health levels are below the global average.
According to the report, these mental health problems are largely attributed to four causes. ▲ Inefficient and excessive work and long hours of work: Stress is aggravated by the older generation's prejudice against the emphasis on 'work-life balance', ▲ Complaints that they do not receive fair evaluation and compensation in the HR system centered on seniority ▲ Restrictions on opportunities for promotion and growth due to personnel stagnation and high-level rise in the low-growth era ▲ Major pressure on maintaining a balance between work and family.
The researchers believe that the mental health of millennials has a significant impact on the atmosphere and performance of the organization. Mental health problems hinder creativity and work engagement, reducing productivity, and negative emotions such as anxiety and depression are at high risk of spreading easily throughout the organization, deteriorating the performance of the team and the organization. This leads to a drop in talent and organizational reputation, and it is analyzed that the negative reputation, especially due to the nature of millennials, can also take a big toll on hiring brands.
Therefore, the explanation is that a preventive approach is important. At work, it is important to prepare measures to improve resilience to help manage stress and strengthen emotional physical strength, and to strengthen the social network within the organization to increase psychological safety. He also emphasized that leaders should support the well-being of team members as well as performance management, and that fundamental problems should be solved by improving the company's system and work method.
The World Health Organization (WHO) also defined burnout syndrome in 2019 as 'unmanaged chronic workplace stress'.
In order for office workers to overcome 'Toast Out' or 'Burnout Syndrome', it is most important to relieve stress and control their mind by doing hobbies such as taking sufficient rest, vacation, walking, reading, and exercising. In addition, if work is difficult due to excessive helplessness or suffers from severe insomnia, it is recommended to visit a hospital for counseling.
