I would describe my self as a workaholic before covid.I was struggling with some issues that I wasn't particularly supported with so lockdown 2020 gave me time to actually shelf that stress.we have gone back a few times on less hrs .
I found a job and was offered it last month but decided the cut in hours so less money was too much so declined.
Anyone else feeling down about returning to their workplace now they have had a break from it.I work shifts so there is absolutely no worklife balance.

Where do you work?

I don't think you'll get much sympathy to be honest when many people have been working harder than ever throughout the whole pandemic.

Are you looking for other jobs?

I’ve been back to work since last July, so life has been sort of back to normal for some time. A lot of people are going to struggle going back, can you go back part time?

I may request that.Seems like a good idea.I do struggle with anxiety and agoraphobia so I was ok pulling 55 hour weeks over a year ago.I have contacted Healthy minds and I am awaiting a phone call like many others.
After over 38 years of working this is my first time out besides child rearing.

Yes Waxonwaxoff I said I was offered another job less hrs better pay but decided the 2 k pay decrease was too much.
I look daily.

I didn't ask if I was being unreasonable I asked if anyone else was dreading going back.
