who here dreads going to work at their unsuitable job?

Post Reply New Topic

i've never been able to rate a job that i didn't absolutely dread. wasn't born under a sufficiently great god, i guess. every morning i'd toss and turn in worried anticipation, 2 hours before the alarm would go "AAAAAAAAAAAAA!! !" and tell me i have to go to that work-hell with hellish co-workers and hellish work conditions. who else here is in this boat also?

I'm not sure... I don't like my job; it's boring and not enough of a challenge, but it's not like the idea of going to work causes me anxiety. That used to often be the case in my earlier jobs, but with this one it's very rare.

^^^that sounds like you've made real upwards progress then!

I used to feel like that in my previous job. It was at a care home. I liked the colleagues and the elderly residents, but the job itself had a lot of things that triggered my anxiety.

For one thing I hated getting up early, especially in the autumn and winter months. It brought on depression and anxiety, even if I had a good night's sleep the night before.

The company wasn't a very good company to work for. It was a low-paid job, but they expected a perfect performance from everyone. The supervisors were under pressure to give us pressure, so basically they were forced to bully us into rushing around and doing more tasks than humanly possible in the shift.
There were 7 wings but I was often put on the wing that made me most anxious, just to be unreasonable (they knew how much I didn't like one or two of the wings).
You were often watched and you couldn't be self-sufficient. It was a very stressful job to be in. I'm glad I left and found a job that is 100% suitable for me.

^^^this is one definitive reason that you can be thankful.

I like my job very much, but I still dread the Monday morning feeling after the weekend, or going back after the Christmas break. I don't know how to explain that...

Anxiety or no anxiety, dread or no dread... Forefront procrastination or completely dissolved of it...

I'd still suck at it, it's still unsuitable and it's still boring.

Does being a mother count as a job?

I used to dread going to work when I was in my previous job but I don’t have that feeling in my current job. Where I am now is far more aspie friendly and the job is a much better fit for me than my previous role was.

I’ve just finished a month at a new part time job. It is ok, but I do dread going in anyway. The people are generally nice and the organisation’s focus (though not my role in particular) is related to one of my special interests, but I find the relating to others draining and I spend evenings agonising over whether I’m doing/saying the right things or not. I wish I could get my act together and figure out a way I could work from home on my own schedule.
