Mr. Manello and his co-
workers drew strength from
complaining to each other
during lunch hour.
"We would try to find hu-
mor in some of the horrible
things that were happening,"
he said. When the school
board tried to cut costs by of-
fering qualified members the
option of an early retirement,
Mr. Manello welcomed it But
he wasn't prepared to stop
working entirely.
He went to the Jewish Vo-
cational Service in 1988. A ca-
reer counselor at JVS
administered a battery of in-
terest and ability tests to him.
Shortly thereafter, Mr.
Manello's language and proof-
reading skills were matched
with an editorial position at
The Jewish News.
He relishes this new job
and has stayed with The Jew-
ish News ever since.
Unfortunately, not all vic-
tims of burn-out are as fortu-
nate as Mr. Manello. Rachel
now works as a social worker
at a local hospital. Though
her workload is less over-
whelming than it was at her
previous job, she still doesn't
feel fulfilled.
Like Mr. Manello's career
in teaching, Rachel's position
in the hospital's elder care
unit doesn't afford her the op-
portunity to realize her abili-
ties.
She's bogged down with pa-
perwork, and stymied by red
tape. A self-admitted perfec-
tionist, Rachel says she can't
live up to her potential at her
present job.
"I think people who are per-
fectionists burn out more,"
she said. "People who want to
do the best they can do, sim-
ply can't. It's not realistic."
Burn-out stems from inter-
nal as well as external fac-
tors. For Judith, it comes from
not knowing which career
path to take.
Judith received a liberal
arts degree from a Michigan
university. Then she relocat-
ed to the East Coast where
she danced professionally. De-
spite her talent, Judith knew
her dancing career would be
short-lived. She didn't want
to switch from dancing to
choreographing as she aged,
so she faced the facts: She'd
have to change careers.
After five years out East,
she returned to the Midwest
to obtain a degree in physical

she quit her job.
Sy Manello taught English
and public speaking in the
Detroit school system for 30
years. He wearied of this en-
vironment because it pre-
vented him from seeing the
fruits of his labor.
"The performance of the
students went from poor to
negligible,” said Mr. Manello.
"Their attitudes went from
not caring to defiant."
Students verbally threat-
ened Mr. Manello. One teen-
age girl actually struck him.
Unruliness made life in the
classroom intolerable.
"I liked working with kids,
but it got to the point where I
couldn't enjoy it anymore,"
said Mr. Manello. "At times I
felt that I was doing more
babysitting and police work
than teaching."
