VIDEO: Workers share their views on boredom at work

Bore out – similar to a “burn out” but less interesting, is when employees suffer from serious boredom at work.

Following the case of Frédéric Desnard, who suffered from boredom at his job which he described as a "decent into hell," the BBC has further investigated the effects of boredom at work.

The 44-year-old French man said his job was a “bore out”, claiming the job left him with “serious depression” and even caused epileptic fits.
