Burnout is a situation that occurs from the effects of stress at work. Stress is one of the problems that most people face nowadays. Emotional stress that is not handled well not only affects mental well-being but can also affect physical health. The objective of this article is to identify the journey of a respondent who is burnout at work due to stress that cannot be managed well. This article also tells about the self-recovery done by the respondents to recover. The findings from the respondents found that the respondents began to dislike being placed in schools far away from their hometowns. The respondent lost enthusiasm for duty when the place was far away from her husband and children. The findings also found that burnout occurs when the workplace is not as desired. The workplace plays an important role for married individuals so that they can work calmly every day. The implication of this study is for the Malaysian Ministry of Education to take more drastic measures to identify married teachers so that they are placed in places close to their families.
