Are you having work problems? Don’t you feel comfortable in your job?
How is your day? If you work for other people, you probably have a set schedule. You enter your profession, do your job, interact with your colleagues, organize meetings, make decisions, make external visits…
Everything can be very rewarding, especially if you love it, because work is not only a way to earn a living, but also a source of professional fulfillment.
But what happens when we don’t like this job or even worse, when the work environment is too tense and you can’t work comfortably?
What happens when you suffer from professional demotivation, have problems in relationships with your colleagues or are bullied at work?
In these cases, you need to say enough. We spend long hours at work and we need to work comfortably or our physical and psychological health will ultimately pay the price.
What is a work problem?
Work problems are any situations that generate conflict, dissatisfaction or difficulties at work. They could be problems with your boss or teammates, but they could also be caused by excessive workload or not receiving the proper motivation.
Problems at work not only end up affecting your productivity, but they can also trigger mood disorders.
There are different work problems:
Stress at work. Excessive pressure at work can lead to high stress levels, a common situation in places where you work under tight deadlines or where too many responsibilities and tasks are placed on workers’ shoulders.
Burnout syndrome (being burned). Also known as burnout syndrome, it is common among service professionals who are in constant contact with other people. However, you may also suffer if you are subjected to excessive hours that prevent you from resting and disconnecting from work or if you have to take on too many responsibilities that exceed your capabilities. In these cases, prolonged exposure to stress pushes your mind and body to the limit and can no longer cope with the demands of the job.
Difficulties in relationships with colleagues. Disagreements with your colleagues or problems with your boss can create a climate of tension at work that ends up taking its toll. They may be bosses who make your life impossible due to poor management, an overly competitive environment that generates friction between workers, or struggles for leadership among teammates. In the long run, these workplace issues often create frustration and, if left unresolved, will lead to deep job dissatisfaction.
Mobbing or harassment at work. It is psychological violence that is constantly exerted on the person in the workplace. This harassment can come from your boss, your colleagues or the company itself. Stalking creates an unsustainable work environment because it uses all kinds of tactics to undermine your confidence, from humiliation to spreading rumors to marginalize you, recurring threats of dismissal or even embarrassing you so that you don’t can’t do your job well.
Reorientation of professional career. You know what you don’t want, but you don’t know what you do want. You think you should change jobs, but you don’t know how or what the path to take is. When you experience professional demotivation with your current position, you know that you need to change, but it is difficult for you to reinvent yourself professionally, which generates a state of uncertainty and anxiety that is difficult to maintain for a long time.
