Because I am protect managing something at the moment and everyone involved in the actual delivery of it voted to say the company shouldn't do it, however "higher ups" have said just get on with it basically. Destined to fail.

Because I can't deal with the politics anymore.

Because I am always the person who gets extra tasks as my boss knows I will get on with it and get things done.

I often fantasise about quitting and working in a garden centre or National Trust property.

Because my bed is so much nicer 😄

LifeIsTooFlippingShort · 05/10/2025 20:13

I'm old, I'm worn out, I can't be arsed. Still, this time next year I'll be retired, so there's that 😁

Because I’m always either at work or looking after my children (love them very much, obviously). They’ll be at school tomorrow and I would love to just have some time in the house alone so I could relax and do whatever I want to do without hearing my name called every 1.4 seconds.

Probation officer by any chance? Think I remember you from the AMA thread!

CactusSammy · 05/10/2025 20:11

Because the older i get, the shorter life seems, and I spend a great deal of it working in a job I hate, to barely earn enough money to live on.

I've had a week off and it was lovely. I do not want to go back. I'm too old for all the shit (51). I want lie ins and dog walks and gardening and sofa time. I am so old.

Arrrrrrragghhh · 05/10/2025 20:06

Weirdly this is one of the positive threads I’ve read in ages.

I can absolutely relate to 99% of these posts. We can’t all be doing the same job surely . 🙂

Because I am having a shitty time at the moment, have been put on a PIP for what I think are quite unfair reasons, my boss is constantly nit-picking at stuff that literally has nothing to do with me, and I have some hard deadlines and difficult work to finish that I'm stressing about because my boss flips between wanting to review everything I do, or nothing I do, and telling me she will review everything but then just....not.

Take a week off looking for a new job.
It won’t improve where you are xx

MsAdoraBelleDearheartVonLipwig · 05/10/2025 19:59

I don’t want to have to go and pretend for hours on end that I get on absolutely fine with my backstabbing little colleague like nothing happened. I just can’t be arsed with it anymore.

Whereismyfleeceblanket · 05/10/2025 15:08

Don’t forget they give us lots of tools to deal with stress and improve wellbeing, whilst being the very real cause of that stress and not ever acknowledging that.

I don’t want to go to work tomorrow because it’s my first day back from maternity leave and I just want to stay home cuddling DD 😭😭

You win ! no better reason🤗

sumayyah · 05/10/2025 19:43

My "work" tomorrow consists of cajoling a young adult through working out at the gym for a few hours ........ I'm too fat for that
Then I can take them shopping and help find all the yummy treats they want to buy....... again I'm too fat to stand looking at food I shouldn't be eating

borage13 · 05/10/2025 19:43

I’m coming down with something
i want to go for a proper run
my darling OH is in hospital 2 hours away after a leg surgery and had a small stroke this morning
Im so stressed my son has noticed and is unhappy
i just moved house and I need to buy sofas
I’m so tired and I just want to spend the day with my OH in hospital and sit on my sofa with my cat and look after my family

tsmainsqueeze · 05/10/2025 19:42

i am working 6 days 😩and even though i like my job i just don't want to work any more as i have had enough .
I really want to clean the cutlery drawer out.
I put the winter duvet on and my bed is heavenly and i just want to stay in it and read.
I may want to spend some of the time in bed with my husband who is home tomorrow.....

FajitaFriday · 05/10/2025 19:40

Because my alarm is set for 2am to start at 3 - to do four hours work to fly home again for the school run. 6 days a week 😭😵‍💫

allmymonkeys · 05/10/2025 19:37

The dog ate my car keys.

Jewelbeetle · 05/10/2025 19:36

Hollowvoice · 05/10/2025 15:07

Because I need time off life to concentrate on work but it doesn't work like that

Yes, you’ve explained it so well

jillybean72 · 05/10/2025 19:35

IHopeYouStepOnALegPiece · 05/10/2025 15:20

I honestly just can't be fucked

Yes exactly this..I'm tired

fivetriangulartrees · 05/10/2025 19:34

Because a weekend at home with two shrieking children makes me crave a day of silent contemplation while eating biscuits, alone.

And like PPs I can't believe I haven't yet earned the right to do whatever I want with my time.

ThankGodItsAutumn · 05/10/2025 19:32

Because it's probably going to be the same old nonsense all day and then I'm back to working a second job in the evening (same place, different department) so 14 hour day for me.

Just have to keep plodding for the time being as planning to relocate next year so don't want to change jobs now and then again in six months time.

GeorgeClooneyshouldhavemarriedme · 05/10/2025 15:09

Because I'm a teacher and tomorrow I'm taking dozens of excitable 9 year olds on a residential trip.

Help!!!!

Been there, done that. It can be like hell on earth, can't it.
