HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- If you've been feeling bored, unmotivated, or stuck in your position at work, you could be experiencing something called "rust-out." In recent years, more workers have been reporting feeling disengaged at work.

Unlike burnout, which is typically associated with being overworked and stressed out, rust-out is linked to a lack of stimulation.

"Career rust-out is a state of boredom, disengagement, and just a general feeling of being stuck in your career," Gabriela Flax said.
