negativism

It’s no wonder that worker burnout has hit a global high, with 42% of surveyed employees reporting feelings of “exhaustion or energy depletion, negativism or cynicism related to an individual’s job and reduced professional efficacy,” a societal problem even mega-doses of caffeine can’t paper over.

A worldwide poll from the Future Forum released this spring found that over 41% of American desk job workers said they feel burned out at their jobs, defined as having "feelings of energy depletion or exhaustion, increased mental distance from one's job, or feelings of negativism or cynicism related to one's job and reduced professional efficacy."

Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said she was working to address financial system vulnerabilities and economic risks, but cautioned against too much negativism in the outlook.

Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen was more optimistic about global economic growth and warned against overdoing the 'negativism'.

"I wouldn't overdo the negativism about the global economy," Yellen said, adding that a number of economies, including the United States, were proving resilient with strong labor markets, easing supply chain problems and lower energy costs.
