Research by Comparably shows that 51% of people in design jobs say they feel burned out. When I’ve worked with professionals in this industry, they tell me it’s sometimes due to unrealistic expectations, changing priorities, and not receiving clear feedback. 4. Business development and sales
The same study by Comparably also reveals that 44% of workers in business development say they’re expected to work while they’re on vacation. That’s a high percentage of professionals with work-life conflicts! Sales-related jobs also require a lot of travel —sometimes up to 75% of their work takes place off-site. 5. Retail
Low compensation is one of the biggest factors that contributes to burnout, especially if it means the staff need to work longer than 40 hours or piece together two or more part-time jobs. Many people who work in retail struggle to make a livable wage and feel undervalued at work. There are also limited opportunities for upward mobility, and getting promoted into a management position often means working a lot of overtime.
