Job insecurity, such as uncertainty about whether you'll be let go in a pending round of layoffs, increase stress hormones and take a toll on health. Workers who have been fired or laid off must deal with multiple losses: the loss of a paid position, a daily routine, and the camaraderie of coworkers, as well as the possible loss of the ability to support themselves and their families. They experience higher rates of depression and report significantly more anxiety, health complaints, and reduced life satisfaction.

Burnout may be the result of unrelenting stress, but it isn't the same as too much stress. Stress involves too many pressures that demand too much of you physically and psychologically. Stressed people imagine that if they could just get everything under control, they would feel better. Burnout, on the other hand, is about not having enough. Being burned out means feeling empty, devoid of motivation, and beyond caring. People experiencing burnout often don't see any hope of positive change in their situations. If excessive stress is like drowning in responsibilities, burnout is being all dried up.

Engaged or enthusiastic workers are the happiest in their jobs. They take pleasure in and are challenged by jobs where they can use their skills and energy. They identify with their work and the organization they work for. Those scoring high in work engagement exhibit a persistent, positive state of fulfillment; vigor (high levels of energy and mental resilience while working); dedication (being strongly involved in their work); and absorption (highly engrossed in their work).
