Who invented Sunday nights ? on 13:20 - Oct 14 by hantssi
Not if you don’t work on a Monday 😜
Second that. Just spent my first spring/summer all but retired. Used to hate Sunday evenings but now it doesn’t matter. Every day is a Saturday for me now as I used to tell clients coming up to retirement. 😁
I am fortunate enough to be retired now but for almost all my working life, I absolutely hated Sunday nights because I was so dreading going back to work.
My working life wasn't all bad but I was a very conscientious worker and pushed myself hard, all the more so once I had experienced my first redundancy at the age of 25.
The marketing department always seemed to be the first to be cut when the going got tough, so most of my bosses turned themselves inside out trying to add as much value as possible. That meant most of them worked their employees like dogs.
I hope all of you who are still working are having a less challenging time, and please, start paying into a pension as soon as you can. It's very hard to move the needle later on.

I got made redundant from my first job, more or less one week after buying my first flat!! Great timing...
I then went to work for a small company where the job was really enjoyable but the management were really tough and didn't tolerate any mistakes. You could do 99 things right out of 100 and they'd pillory you for your one mistake. They ended up giving me my notice while I was looking for another job and I threatened to sue for constructive dismissal (they settled before it went much further).
I also went to another job (competitor of that company) where the workload was ridiculous with piss-poor management and structure, I definitely dreaded Sunday nights then. Ended up diagnosed with anxiety and put on anti-depressants. Lasted ten months but really should have got out a lot earlier.
Hence I've always had a bit of a hang up about work, worried about making a mistake and getting called out for it. Fortunately my current job is in the most informal easy-going company I've worked for.
