Wassit

Work overload and burnout: how to talk it through calmly

Saying you can’t take any more is hard, especially at work. Wassit helps you express overload in concrete terms — workload, deadlines, priorities — and spots signs of exhaustion so they are taken seriously without drama.

What usually gets in the way

Exhaustion often comes out as anger or cynicism, which makes the message easy to dismiss. The other person hears a complaint or an attack, not a warning sign.

Rephrasing example

What you write

I'm fed up, I'm doing the work of three people and nobody lifts a finger.

What they will read

Party A says they are at the end of their rope and feels they carry a workload far beyond their role. They need support and would like to review how work is shared.

What the AI does in this type of conflict

Four steps, and you stay in control at each one

  1. You write, as it comesNo filter. This first draft stays between you and Wassit.
  2. The AI spots what hurtsJudgments, comparisons, blame, threats: the four patterns that shut a conversation down.
  3. You review and chooseTwo or three rewrites. Keep one, edit it, or start over. If the message was heated, there's a short pause first.
  4. They read something they can hearWith a note that you reviewed and approved it.

Limits

In cases of harassment or distress at work, also talk to occupational health, staff representatives or a professional. The AI gives no legal advice.

Frequently asked questions

Does Wassit alert anyone about burnout?

No. It flags signs in the case analysis, visible only to the two parties. If you are not doing well, talk to occupational health or a doctor.

Is “I’m fed up” considered aggressive?

Not in itself. The AI looks for judgements, comparisons, denial of responsibility and threats, not for expressions of fatigue.

Does the other party see my original message?

Never. They only read the version you have reviewed and approved. If you paste aggressive text back into the suggestion, it is checked again before it is sent.

What happens to my data?

Conversations are deleted automatically after the case is closed. You can withdraw your consent at any time from your dashboard.
