Q: What does "Still Engaged" mean?

You're present, you care, and the frustrations you feel are a normal part of working life. Take a breath here. What you're describing is a person who still shows up, still cares, and still finds meaning in what they do. That doesn't mean everything is perfect, and it shouldn't be. Work will

Q: What does "You're Pulling Back" mean?

You're withdrawing in ways that matter, and this slow retreat will only widen if you don't face it. I want you to sit with this. You're not fully gone, but you're not fully here either. Something shifted at some point, and you started protecting yourself by caring less. That's not a character flaw.

Q: What does "You've Already Checked Out" mean?

Your body is at work but the rest of you left a long time ago, and pretending otherwise is costing you. Let me say what you probably already know. You're done.

Question 1

When you look at your to-do list at work, what do you notice about how you approach it now?

Answer

I do the absolute minimum to stay off the radar. Anything beyond my strict job description feels like giving away something for free.

Answer

I've gotten selective. Some things I'll do well, but I let a lot slide that I never would have before.

Answer

I still get things done, but I notice I need to push myself harder than I used to. The autopilot is kicking in more.

Answer

I want to do it well. Not for anyone else, but because it matters to me that my name is on good work.

Question 2

What comes up when you think about your next promotion, or the next step in your career at this company?

Answer

Nothing. I genuinely do not care anymore. Climbing a ladder in a building I want to leave feels pointless.

Answer

I used to want it. I can remember wanting it. But something in me just stopped reaching for it, and I haven't looked back.

Answer

I'm not actively pursuing it, but if it came to me I'd consider it. I'm just not hungry for it right now.

Answer

I see a path forward and I'm working toward it. There's something here worth growing into.

Question 3

Your manager asks for a volunteer to lead a new cross-team project. What do you notice happening inside you?

Answer

My whole body says no. I look down, avoid eye contact, and wait for someone else to take it. Extra work is the last thing I want.

Answer

I notice a flicker of guilt because old me would have raised my hand immediately. But I just don't have it in me anymore.

Answer

I'd want to know more before committing. I'm protective of my time, but the right project could interest me.

Answer

I'd lean in. I like the chance to work with new people and stretch myself. That kind of thing energizes me.

Question 4

Think about the last few meetings you were in. What were you actually doing?

Answer

I sit there and say nothing. I stopped sharing ideas or opinions weeks ago, maybe months. Nobody seems to notice, which tells me everything.

Answer

I'll talk if someone directly asks me something, but I've stopped volunteering thoughts. It doesn't feel worth the energy.

Answer

I'm quieter than I used to be, but when something hits close to my work, I'll still weigh in.

Answer

I participate. I push back on things, I suggest alternatives. I want the conversation to actually go somewhere.

Question 5

What's your relationship with the clock during a workday? Be honest.

Answer

I watch it constantly. By 2pm I'm already calculating how many hours are left. The day feels like something to survive.

Answer

I notice it more than I should. There's a relief when 5pm comes that feels a little too strong, a little too desperate.

Answer

Some days drag, some fly. I don't think about the clock obsessively, but I do look forward to being done.

Answer

Honestly, I sometimes look up and it's later than I thought. I get absorbed in what I'm doing.

Question 6

When you think about your coworkers, the people you work alongside every day, what do you feel?

Answer

I've stopped going to lunches, stopped the small talk, stopped caring about their lives. I just want to do my hours and leave.

Answer

I'm polite but distant. I keep things professional and short. The warmth I used to feel is gone.

Answer

There are a couple of people I genuinely like. The rest, I could take or leave.

Answer

I actually enjoy these people. The relationships I have at work are real and they matter to me.

Question 7

When you finish something at work and hit send or submit, what do you notice about how that feels?

Answer

Nothing. I feel nothing. It's just another task moved from one column to another. The quality barely matters to me anymore.

Answer

Mostly relief that it's done. I used to feel a sense of accomplishment, but now it's just... one less thing.

Answer

For the stuff I care about, there's still some satisfaction. For the rest, I'm just going through the motions.

Answer

I feel good when something comes together well. I notice when my work is sharp and it matters to me that it is.

Question 8

Have you ever caught yourself thinking about what would happen if you just got laid off?

Answer

All the time. There's a part of me that fantasizes about it because then the decision would be made for me. I wouldn't have to be the one to leave.

Answer

It's come up. Not constantly, but the thought of being let go doesn't scare me the way it should. That says something.

Answer

Maybe once or twice during a really bad week, but it passed. It's not something I dwell on.

Answer

That thought actually scares me. I don't want to lose this. I've built something here that I value.

Question 9

During a meeting right now, if you really checked in with yourself, where is your attention?

Answer

I'm on my phone, making grocery lists, planning my evening, thinking about literally anything other than what's being discussed.

Answer

I catch maybe half of what's said. My mind wanders and I have to pull it back, and each time it's harder to care.

Answer

I'm mostly there. I zone out sometimes, but I can follow the thread and jump back in when needed.

Answer

I'm listening. I'm thinking about what's being said and forming my own thoughts about it. I'm in the room.

Question 10

What's happening with your skills, your learning, your growth as a professional right now?

Answer

Frozen. I haven't learned anything new in months. I don't read, I don't take courses, I don't even care that I've stagnated.

Answer

I'm running on what I already knew when I got here. Nothing new is coming in, and I can feel myself falling behind.

Answer

I pick things up here and there, but I'm not being intentional about it. Growth is happening, just slowly.

Answer

I'm learning. Whether it's through the job or on my own time, I'm staying sharp and building toward something.
