Instead of complaining to your boss about your dissatisfaction, discuss your his or her vision of the future of your department or company. Ask how you can be instrumental in helping your company reach that vision. Find a project that is commercially sound and advantageous for your department or company. Carve out a niche for yourself and become the expert in that field for your company. Often it takes getting off the pity bandwagon and shifting into a new way of thinking to invigorate yourself.
Organizations can help combat burnout by providing good working conditions.
The workplace must be flexible enough to accommodate individual needs. Employees need to know that they are valued. They need to be able to speak their minds without having to defend their ideas. But be realistic. Don't expect one outlet to fulfill all of your needs.
