Does anyone else dread Sunday because Monday is right around the corner?

I've always had this weird hatred for Sundays, because it means work is literally waiting for me the next morning. Honestly, my hatred for Sunday is stronger than how much I love Friday and the start of the weekend. Part of that is probably because I can't stand my job, but I feel like there's something else going on too that I still don't fully understand.

Sunday might genuinely be the worst day of the week.

I just wanted to see whether other people feel this way too, or if I'm just making too big a deal out of it.

And then on top of all that there are Sunday errands and things. Laundry, church if that's part of your routine, a trip to the supermarket, cooking for the week, trying to fit in a walk or go to the gym, mentally preparing yourself for work, and then forcing yourself to sleep early so Monday doesn't completely wreck you.

It's actually crazy.

The older you get, the more you realize some people really just got lucky.

Don't leave your next interview to luck. Practice with a friend and research a lot and read useful tips about how to present your skills.

I Got Fired as Soon as I Came Back from a 10-Day Vacation

I was close to completing a year at work, and they had approved my 10-day vacation months ago. Even while I was traveling, I was keeping up with work, replying to a few work messages, and I spoke with my manager more than once, and no one hinted that anything was wrong.

When I went to work on Monday, he gave me a termination letter and refused to give me a real reason, and told me to pack my things and leave. It's clear he had decided to fire me a while ago and was just waiting until I came back.

I had about 5 weeks left until I finished probation, and now I'm out of a job. I'm in an "at will" state, so as far as I understand, there isn't much I can do to challenge the decision.

Honestly, all I can think about is that he could have told me before I traveled. That trip would have been completely different if I had known I was coming back to find myself unemployed.

I'm a bit lost right now, and I feel like I messed something up somehow, even though I don't even know what I did wrong.

They told me I "had to" come in after I called out of my shift

I called out of work about 3 hours before my shift because my daughter was completely falling apart and I couldn't leave her with my mother-in-law. She's in her late sixties, and it wasn't fair or safe for me to put that kind of responsibility on her.

My manager texted me back basically saying, "No, you have to come in." Like... I wasn't asking whether it was okay or not. I was telling you I'm not coming in.

They kept replying with NO like they were yelling at a little kid. I told them again that I wasn't coming in, that my daughter comes before this job, and that was that.

This place has no benefits at all. No sick days, no vacation time, no holiday pay, nothing. And I make $15/hr. If I miss work, I'm already losing money, so who seriously thinks a parent is going to choose a shift over their kids?

I just needed to vent because this really pissed me off.

What made it even worse was their attitude afterward. They acted like taking care of my daughter was somehow optional. They didn't appreciate my loyalty or my time.

At that point, I realized my daughter is more important than any job that treats employees that way. Instead of waiting around for them to fire me, I chose my daughter and walked away from the job myself. I've been job hunting for the past few days, and honestly, it's been a blessing in disguise. A friend recommended InterviewMan to handle interviews smoothly and organize my answers better. The free trial was amazing for me and now I'm waiting for their response, but I think I nailed it. Looking back, leaving was probably the best decision I could have made. No paycheck is worth sacrificing your family for.

Honestly, I’m starting to realize that working hard isn’t enough, you also need to present yourself well and speak up. Lately, I’ve been working on that by using tools like InterviewMan to practice how I talk about my experience and value, especially in interviews.
