Is it not knowing self-value and self-worth that leads to burnout?

There have been job positions where I have experienced a list of job duties with a statement at the end of the list stating “other duties as required”. There has been no clarification provided of the other duties that are not within the job position I got hired to fulfill. Some of the other duties were working on tasks other co-workers or management could not, or did not want to complete, working on task not associated with talent or skill, and working two job positions yet receiving one salary due to company expressing budget not permit hiring of more staff. I remember reaching out to management or Human Resource department about employment concerns and received solutions of being fired at one job then hired back to the same position to train new staff then being fired again, being transfer at another job to another department into a different job position and at another job being silenced then demoted from an executive position to an assistant position in a different department than originally hired to work.

It is heart breaking when I think about the lack of appropriate resources for positive change when an employee struggles with concerns that affect able to complete job duties. There are also moments when personal responsibilities can become overwhelming and unexpectedly challenging. I have always tried to be the individual who does most of the household chores, who wants to see everyone happy and provide support for others, which includes never saying “no” and putting others needs above my rest or interest. I often wonder if I had known my self-value and self-worth during personal challenges and past job positions would I have been naive to the concerns, and life runs smoother when one has medical/personal benefits and a retirement plan that is affordable?

Today, I value who I am and what I can provide, I try to stay aware of my physical/mental health limitations and allow my voice to be heard understanding my opinion is worth expressing.
