I mean we’re all knackered, things are grinding, but i’m in a job where it doesn’t matter if i coast for a few days.
Teachers and the NHS, all the public sector have peoples lives and futures in their hands
Got to get vlaue for those shareholders at the end of the day. You can’t have good working conditions and a good return for investment and obscene CEO bonuses
I think with teaching if you go into it with any underlying issues you could end up having a breakdown as it’s a job requiring concentration and patience.
My ex wife was a teacher and had high school kids swearing at her in class etc, plus the workload, marking and lesson planning, though she was resilient and still works in education
It takes a mentally strong person to be a teacher and is probably more difficult these days.
I’ve found it increasingly important to keep myself fit in order to keep my mental health in a good state. When I’m working full time that’s impossible.
Full time for me is 55 hours a week plus overtime. 😔
I have noticed this, everything is becoming more and more micro managed and tracked. It seems like a lot of company’s have as many people in the office coming up with ideas to make improvements and spreadsheets on workers performance to bash people over the head with as there are doing actual meaningful work. making everyones jobs harder and more stressful. Some weeks years ago I could get my work done in three days and have a long weekend , other weeks would be busy it was give and take. but I have to long it out so they feel like they are getting their pound of flesh now.
Edit to say, I got downvoted, the office “workers” are on Reddit now too!
I dunno about posties walking anywhere tbh, mine drives from door to door in the street. Pretty sure none of them are left without a van
Teacher fiancé has just finished for the summer and I’m expecting him to crash and burn on Monday/Wednesday. It usually takes a few days but it’s like his body realises it doesn’t have to hold up anymore and he gets really sick for like a week.
Happens every year like clockwork, he’s been a teacher for 4 years now.
