1) How did you burnout? so that we can look for red flag situations in the workplace.

I would just sit there staring at my screen and doing nothing. I would get emails/calls and other queries and I would just push everything back to next week. I was tired all the time and just wanted to sleep. I called in sick several times and slept the whole day.

2) How did you get out of it ?

Resigned, then moved out of the country, found a new job and started a plan that included:

Fitness, social life, a good diet, travel, new hobbies.

Be aware though, some people think that just by moving away from a place/job/problem you will get all your problems resolved. When in fact I found that some of the issues I had were related to my personality and who I was rather than anything else. The sooner you recognize this the better for you.
