"Boreout (闷爆) is different from burnout (精疲力竭) in the sense that bored-out employees rarely break down with exhaustion. Bored-out people may be present physically but not in spirit, and people can keep doing this for a good while," says Harju, who has studied boreout for years.

Workers who realize they're experiencing boreout may also be unwilling to flag it up as an issue to line managers or human resources. "While the behaviors that feed into burnout — overwork, drive — are appreciated and rewarded by employers, boreout reflects a lack of interest, a lack of motivation," says Harju. "These are things that are avoided in organizations."

There are some quick fixes, like taking on work tasks that are more interesting to you. But a 2016 study Harju and her colleagues worked on showed that people who had boreout were less likely to engage in constructive activities like trying to find new, interesting challenges at work.

What happens more often, she says, is that people will just show up at their desks and spend time shopping online, chatting with colleagues or planning other activities. She says that these people aren't lazy, but are using these behaviours as "coping mechanisms".

Fahri Ozsungur, an associate professor of economics at Mersin University, Turkey, who was behind the 2021 study on the health effects of boreout, points out that combating the phenomenon isn't just down to the individual. "Giving meaning to the job is not just up to the employees," he says. "Instead, it's up to management to create an office culture that makes people feel valuable."

If you think boreout is seriously affecting your health either physically or mentally, it may be valuable to ask yourself how you might be able to reselect your career path toward something healthier for you. Seek the advice from advisers, career consultants, friends and family.

"If only people take its suggestion, boreout can make a change into something else: a different career entirely, or a different role in the organization," Harju says.
