Boreout, a term for feeling purposeless and disengaged at work, is becoming more common, particularly with the rise of hybrid work environments. Wharton psychologist Adam Grant points out that as employees feel more disconnected, especially in a challenging job market, many may experience boreout instead of burnout. Kelli Thompson, an executive coach, also shares her personal experience of feeling disengaged despite being in a positive work environment. She highlights that individuals can advocate for more meaningful work, rather than solely considering quitting as a solution.
"Boreout can arise when people fear leaving a job in an employers' market. But mindful prioritization of engagement can rejuvenate motivation without quitting."
"I love this company... but I just feel like I'm going through the motions. Ultimately, you just start to feel disengaged."
