#Over half of American workers get the ‘Sunday scaries’: survey

The majority of this nation’s workers get a bad case of the Sundays due to dreading Monday. 

LinkedIn surveyed 3,000 individuals employed in the U.S. and found that 66 percent of them reported experiencing the “Sunday scaries” ahead of the workweek. 

The networking platform used the phrase “Sunday scaries” to refer to the phenomenon of feeling “stress and anxiousness” on a Sunday night ahead of beginning work again on Monday following a weekend off, Fox News reported.

The coronavirus pandemic, the survey further found, has only exacerbated the fear: 41 percent of survey respondents reported that their Sunday night unease has been made directly worse by COVID-19, or otherwise become more intense during the course of it. Indeed, close to a third (31 percent) of men surveyed said that, before the pandemic, they’d never experienced the scaries before, and the experience only began during COVID.

Young people — namely, those falling into the millennial and Gen Z generations — reported being the most impacted of any age group by the phenomenon. In both groups, a vast 78 percent majority of respondents said they experience work-related stress on Sundays. 

As unpleasant as the Sunday scaries may be, though, at least one expert believes they are not a surefire sign that your job is toxic or that you’re in need of a work-related change — possibly, sufferers just need to infuse something a bit more enjoyable into their routine. 

“The Sunday scaries are not necessarily a sign that you need to leave your job or change careers,” LinkedIn Career job expert Catherine Fisher told Fox. “A few things you can do proactively to help you feel excited to get back to work include building an action plan on Sunday night so you can hit the ground running on Monday morning or planning something to look forward to on Monday, like a virtual coffee date with a favorite colleague.”
