After seeing a counselor who diagnosed me with high burnout, I went to my boss letting her know I was burnt out and that I needed some help with my workload. Her response was a very snippy "I don't know what you are doing, so I don't know how you are burnt out"
To put things in perspective - I had at least double the assignments as most people in the group... and she had agreed previously that I needed some help in the form of a junior level worker... but that never happened - and it was just dangled in front of me like a carrot - which just fed into the decline of my mental health.
I have a different job at a different company now... and I couldn't be in a better place! I vow to never be like that manager.
