To dread going back to work tomorrow?

[PurpleMoon5]

I can't even bear to think about it.

I go back on the 7th. I like my job, don't like my manager or colleagues though and don't feel valued.

Would love another job but I'm in the public sector so great leave entitlement, great pay, great benefits, unionised etc.

But little prospect of progression, it's sideways moves only but into a department or role that I may not enjoy as much.

Leaving for another company, even other public sector roles, means lower pay and less leave entitlement. We've got it good here so on balance I think I'm here to stay.

My manager is a two faced cow though.

I'm loving all these people saying to look for a new job! I love my job a lot but I would still much rather be at home this week than have to get up at a certain time tomorrow and get back to the daily grind of routine!

I’m dreading it. And I actually even like my job most of the time. Can’t we just rewind a week or so.

I don't want to go back so I'm not. I'm phoning my boss first thing tomorrow to tell her I quit! Started new job recently which isn't going to be right for me so decided to bale out. I don't need a reference from them and am not on any notice period. I'll be skint but would rather focus on taking some time to find the right thing.

I like my job too it's in the sector I've always wanted to work in and is hard to get into. But I'm still feeling a bit of dread. As pp's have said I enjoy time off mir. Also I live Christmas and the run up to it. It just feels a bit sad an like there's nothing to look forward to in January.

I don't go back til the 7th so I've had 2 weeks off which is great but it's a casual job so it's been 2 weeks unpaid. Hoping I'll be offered a permanent role this year fingers crossed

I was in work for two days last week, but off on the Eves, and I don't want to go back either! All the posts from people wanting to look for a better job or improve themselves, just make me realise how shit my job is, how shit my working environment is, and how - no matter how much I change - I'll just never fit in. I need to find something else.

I'm dreading it. It wouldn't make any difference if I changed jobs, I just don't want to work.

Absolutely dreading it. Have just sorted lunch and breakfast. There'll be Feck all sleep tonight with the back to work fear. Will be polishing up my cv and looking for something else. Have promised myself that if I do one thing this year it is to put on my big girl pants and leave a job I'm really starting to hate and go elsewhere.

I like my job but I can't be arsed to go back either. Just love being at home and potterinf about with DD and DH. Although DH obviously going back too.

Dreading it.
Went for an interview over the holidays and it was perfect........only would hVe been out of the house for a min of 12 hours due to the commute.
Doubly dreading it......

Oh you poor thing. I'm feeling the same but i return on 7th January.
Started job last March and it has just got worse and worse and will continue.
I must get a new job in 2019. I'm desperately unhappy there but can't leave without a job to go to.
Hope your first day goes as smoothly as possible x x

Dreading it too. Two massive deadlines this week. I’ll meet them both but I’m stressed thinking about them. Had another huge thing to do but spent a few hours working on that at home, just to get it done.

Argh.

Thank you all, I have been an utter bitch all day because I am so worried about going back. I actually really like my job but ALWAYS get like this towards the end of holidays. I convince myself it will be terrible. I even had to go through my CBT book and write down the worries to stop catastrophising! It has made me feel a bit better. Good to know I’m not the only one. I really do need to sleep well though to pull tomorrow off!

for everyone who is dreading work tomorrow.
Don't know if it makes you feel any better,but there are thousands who wish they could still go out to work or had a job to go to...and like pp say,for most it's a short week.soon fly by!before the end of the week I bet there will be Valentine's stuff in the shops!☺(sorry gone off subject)
Happy New Year

Bee91 I feel your pain. I've been on mat leave since xmas 2017 and I am back to work this week. I actually love my job by and large but I also adore DS and I feel sick at the thought of it

Dampener Alert....

Think of those people who have worked through Christmas. Tomorrow is my 7th day in a row and I'm not off until Saturday.

Now, where's my medal???

Yes I also feel for those who have had to work through Christmas.
But you will get your holiday off at other times. I'm always a bit meh about going back to work after a week off. I save up my holiday and always try to have Christmas week off.

Been in Rome since the 28th and i am back travelling wise tomorrow and back in on the 3rd. Dreading it. Fucking despise my job and if any of the colleagues start being twats I swear I'm walking. Being in italy has changed my perspective. Xx

Yes Poodloo, I will get holidays during the year but, as I -stupidly- chose to be a chef, I never get them during school holidays. My own fault for choosing such a family unfriendly career

Stupidly should be crossed out- I can never get that to work. -stupidly-

Absolutely dreading it. I was randomly sick this afternoon and was secretly hoping it was a bug so I could have the rest of the week off but that's just delaying the inevitable!
I do actually like my job, just had such a lovely break it's going to be hard to go back.

I am dreading it. I’m avoiding going to bed because when I wake up I have to go to work 😭😭😭

I'm dreading going back tomorrow. I've been having anxiety dreams about it since I finished on 21st December...

Made a colossal mistake changing jobs last spring so have spent the Christmas break polishing my cv and applying for all sorts of jobs, some in my field of experience and some wild cards.

Either way, a job that makes me feel like this isn't worth it. I'm a square peg in a round hole right now and the Christmas break had made me realise just how wrong it feels.

I enjoy my job (changed company about 5 months ago, best decision I've made in long while) but am dreading going back tomorrow. I've been saying to DH all evening I just want to cry. It's all a bit melodramatic though as its just because I enjoy pottering at home far more. I'd be more than happy for DH though to go back to work and the DC to school
