MAN SICK OF HIS JOB, ONLY FEELS HAPPY ON SATURDAYS CAUSE SUNDAY GOT PRE-MONDAY BLUES

Been in my job for about a year and i’m starting to feel really jaded about my job (from colleagues, to the culture, job scope etc). The only thing i’m looking forward to everyday is ending work, weekends, and payday.

Some days are more bearable than others. On certain days, i feel like ending work the moment i step into the office.

I can’t find any joy or sparks in this job at all (except for some freedom from my boss), as she doesn’t micromanage me on a daily basis.

Every week the only day i enjoy fully is on Sat, cos on Sunday i would start feeling the blues from starting work next day.

It doesn’t help that i have certain colleagues here that enjoy playing politics/stirring sh*t within my department, and make our work life even more unbearable.

Would you hold out longer if you feel this way about your job? Or are you equally jaded and just waiting for the day to pass, or for the weekends/holidays?

Netizens’ comments

  • I feel damn jaded too. I think im burnt out and hence am clearing leave to see if it helps. If i come back still feel jaded, then time to quit. Take 2 to 3 mth break and find a new role after that.
  • Was in a job where I kept asking myself “Do I want to be doing this for the rest of my life?”
    Promotion or not it’s still the same job, just more responsibilities and expectations.
    My answer to my question is no, as I didn’t look forward to work and cannot stand bosses that only want to squeeze out every last drop of productivity from me without proper reward or recognition.
  • Contrary to popular belief, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with only looking forward to COB, weekends or payday actually; your workplace isn’t your life. It does help to feel great at the workplace, but don’t beat yourself up if you don’t!
    Personally I feel what’s more important is having a reason for a job in the first place. Obviously you need to eat, pay rent, etc, but being focused on personal growth in terms of hobbies or skill development is just as, if not more, important.
    Is it possible that you’re not really jaded about the job, but the workplace (employees, culture, environment) and the assignments you’ve been given? You mentioned politics and sh*t stirring, so perhaps it’s the people that you’re around which affects you more than the industry/job itself.
