Spotting the signs of burnout and what you can do to help
Emma is a project coordinator at a growing engineering firm. Over the past six months, the firm has increased its project load significantly without hiring additional staff. Emma now regularly works 60-hour weeks, including weekends, to meet deadlines. She feels guilty asking for help, as her manager often remarks on how "busy everyone is." Emma has recently started experiencing sleep issues, anxiety, and has taken several sick days due to stress.
