A new survey found that 75% of workers now experience the Sunday scaries. Here’s why.
The cloud of dread hanging over you on Sunday evening; the wave of anxious anticipation you feel ahead of a new week; the cold sweat you get thinking about Monday. These feelings have a name: the “Sunday scaries.”
According to recent data from LinkedIn and Headspace, the so-called “Sunday scaries” are getting worse, supposedly stemming from growing economic uncertainty, financial stress, and employment concerns.
LinkedIn surveyed 2,000 U.S. workers and found that 75% experience Sunday scaries. And while it may seem like workers have long-dreaded the end of the weekend (look no further than Garfield’s disdain for Mondays as cultural evidence), LinkedIn’s research suggests that the extent to which workers currently experience the Sunday scaries is, in fact, novel and on the rise.

Whiners want to work from home and are scared to go to work. Pathetic.
Rush used to do parodies on things to be scared of as it’s a lib thing to be afraid of anything and everything.
IMO that’s why they bought into glow bull warming and covid so fast.
I personally think the OP article does not apply to the average conservative.
No being scared for me this coming Sunday. I’m working overtime.
Haha, sucks to be them. I really like my job and actually look foreword to Monday.
Forward…
When you work seven days per week, not much reason to have Sunday panic.
Something that I have noticed for a few years, and which relates to this, is the bad quality of management.
Now, one can say that management has always been bad, and it’s the Peter Principle, and the guy (or girl) in charge rises up to a level where they are not good at the work. And they stay at that level forever, continually being bad at their job.
But I think there is something more going on. I think something has changed in recent years. I don’t know what. And I don’t think it’s really connected to COVID. I just see a lot of managers who don’t relate to their team, don’t understand the work that the team does, do not help people find ways to do the work, do not find ways to remove obstacles, do not mentor. The old “Lead, Follow, or Get Out of the Way”? I see managers who cannot lead, are resentful of energetic workers who can get out front and show initiative, and who are always in the way explaining why nothing can be done or improved because we’ve always done it this way ...
I don’t know why the management layer is failing but I have seen it at several jobs, in my local schools, local town government, state government and federal government. The people in charge, should not be in charge. How did they get to be in charge? I do not know.
But it makes it very hard to be enthusiastic about going to work.
Sunday scaries?
Sounds like something for babies...
Used to be called “the Sunday night blues” as we faced “back to work tomorrow” letdown. It was transient and hardly “scary.” You just said screw it and went to bed and when the alarm went off you got up and that was that.
Go to work, do your job. What’s scary about that.
I loved my job (science / computing) but did dread meetings and things and know what they’re talking about.
It’s just another Manic Monday
I can feel this for sure. Not necessarily scaries but definitely anxious feelings to start work week sometimes. Don’t know why, maybe too much to do, I don’t know
I dealt with many of these back in the mid-to-late 80’s, after a similar economic boom. They were all laid off and gone by 1993.
My job is good but it’s the screwed up people who can barely turn on a laptop or use outlook that wreak havoc over the weekend.
I do keep my eyes open for a better change of scene.

The term “Sunday scaries,” although not scientific, describes a common feeling of anxiety that builds up over the course of Sunday afternoon and evening. According to a survey conducted by job site Monster, up to 76% of Americans self-reported having “really bad” Sunday night anxiety, compared to just 47% of people around the world.
Oh good grief.
“I can feel this for sure. Not necessarily scaries but definitely anxious feelings to start work week sometimes. Don’t know why, maybe too much to do, I don’t know”
Yeah, I get this too. I’m not sure why I feel so keyed up and seem to put off going to bed. My job really isn’t all that stressful.
Let me guess, the agile oxymoron known as Scrum ?
