11. “The best strategy is to prevent burnout through a combination of change and education for both the organization and the people who may be causing the stress that leads to burnout. If your manager or the organization refuse to budge—if they refuse to see that your work situation is contributing to your high levels of stress and burnout, or if they see it as your personal problem and refuse to do anything about it—you might need to consider other options, such as finding a new job, moving to a different area in the organization, changing your reporting lines, or enrolling in a class or study course as a medium-term strategy for job change.” – Meredith Fuller
12. “The main causes of workplace stress will no doubt sound familiar: long hours, heavy workload, changes within the organization, tight deadlines, changes to duties, uncertain job security, lack of autonomy, boring work, insufficient skills for the job, over-supervision, inadequate working environment, lack of proper resources, lack of equipment, few promotional opportunities, harassment, discrimination, and poor relationships with colleagues or bosses. The fact that this all sounds familiar shouldn’t detract from the effect these causes of stress can have on you.” – Meredith Fuller
13. “There is a reason why people ask a busy person to complete a task for them. Don’t feel obliged to always say yes when somebody asks you to do something. You will become exhausted and they will expect you to be available 24/7. Saying no isn’t usually our default position.” – Meredith Fuller
