How to find some enthusiasm for my job again?

[InkyPinkyParlezVous]

I used to love my job. Was always enthusiastic, willing to put myself out and take one for the team, because I believed it made a difference, etc etc..

After a really difficult work year (long story, but not covid related) I now find myself completely flat, totally lacking in any enthusiasm or motivation, and if I am honest with myself, possibly developing a bad attitude (the last thing I would ever want).

I have to work, I want to stay with my company, but I can't see through rose tinted glasses anymore. That ship has sailed. I didn't push it out of the harbour, but, still, its done.

How do I regain my enthusiasm, and stop myself turning into the employee I never wanted to be?

Maybe you need a change?

I keep hitting refresh in the hope that someone has the answer to this.

At least you're not alone.

Also following with interest. I’m less than a year in my job and already am struggling with motivation.

Sounds like the company haven't to related you decently and it's made you miserable. Sounds like it isn't the place for you anymore. I don't say this glibly but maybe time for a fresh start somewhere else?

Treated, not to related!

Are you wfh or in the office with others? If Wfh maybe you’re missing the company and buzz of being around people?!

How long have you been there and wha

How long have you been there and what's your relationship like with your manager?

Have just realised I totally assumed office work - sorry!

I had a spate of this. Did 2 sessions with a coach which was very helpful. It was mostly about finding what my purpose was in relation to work and my job. It really helped kick start me.
