Why Does Work Overload Trigger Emotional Exhaustion?

[Hazel]

High expectations, multitasking, and lack of breaks increase stress. Why do some employees handle workload better than others? Which strategies actually improve mental resilience?

Work overload triggers emotional exhaustion because prolonged stress depletes mental and physical energy. Constant demands, tight deadlines, and lack of recovery time can lead to burnout, reduced motivation, irritability, and difficulty managing emotions effectively.
