I'm currently a high school student, so it's quite tricky for me to imagine my working life in the future. However, burnout has emerged in my academic life for several times and the most feasible remedy for me is reuning with my family as well as choosing a win-win on my own. It will be unfortunate if I have a supervisor breathing down my neck, but I'll make every endeavor to overcome and earn a colossal amount of money in order to have a stable life.

• Burnout lack of energy
• Deadline ultimatum
• Breathing down ones neck. Watching closely
• Presentism. Staying longer than usual to show you work hard
• Work life balance the amount of time you do work than enjoying
• Win- win situation good for everyone

I had a big project with a tight deadline, and my boss breathed down my neck, and then I was burnt out. I had to presenteeism, and my work-life balance was terrible. However, I have a friend who works at a great company, and her job is very flexible, but she finishes her job too, so it's a win-win for her and her company. I then quit my old job and joined my friend at her company. (This is just a made-up story. I'm fine.)

Oh ...l love this program as I could learn a lot from this.I have learned an important idiom breathing down in your neck that means some is watching very closely and checking everything you do.I wish I couldn't get a Manager who is like breathing down in your neck.Also I do agree that works should be flexible and must be based upon the talent do we have.Presenteeisam is a new vocabulary for me which I never ever heard before this.

Another word that people often use (similar to breathing down your neck) is micromanage. A boss who micromanages employees is constantly theming them what to do.

Often they can have the same / similar meanings, but there are some differences. A boss is generally a person, but an employer can be a person or a company. Your employer is the person or business who hires and pays you, but a boss is more involved in supervising of staff.

Here, it means "to move away" from, which, metaphorically means to stop thinking about things in one way and start thinking about things in another way. It's shifting, or moving, from one way of thinking to another way of thinking.
