Now I understand the Sunday scaries are so real! Is work-related dread just a feeling I have to get used to now or am I in the wrong job? How are we all coping with this feeling?

My 2026 work "goal" was to look for a new job, but t feels like the jobs market is crashing or at least getting worse. Should I wait it out? Will it get better? Advice please.

I am a US citizen who is very open to relocating to New Zealand. I would be thrilled to share my knowledge of Carpentry Instruction and building skills with the youth or with skilled trades professionals as a career. I would be a vital asset to any construction business as well. I have been in the trades for over 25 years. I am also and first a Christian who puts my future in the hands of God. I am open to advice on this potential move across the world. Thank you.

I'm new to the workforce and just had an end of year performance review and I feel a bit deflated. My company gives a score out of five for certain KPIs (you can never get a perfect score btw) and I lost points in some areas that aren't really measurable. Can someone with more experience tell me how to reach these KPIs, like innovation and team work, or how I should approach them?

I feel trapped in a low-paid service job with exhausting early starts and barely enough hours to survive. I tried studying to break out of it, now I can’t even afford to complete the course. It honestly feels like you need money to stop being broke… and I’m running out of energy trying. If anyone’s been through this and found a way out, I could really use some advice. What should I actually be doing next?

What do you do to look busy at work when you’re not really? My role is either in feast or famine mode, it comes in waves, I’m often waiting for other people and have ‘nothing’ to do. But that might look bad from a manager’s perspective, so I always try to look busy. What are some ‘busy work’ things I can do in my downtime?

Feeling a bit lost career-wise—my passion for vet nursing faded last year. Pay, overworked nurses, and unstable volunteering made me rethink things. Thinking about starting a business, maybe in beauty, but worried about fees and studying without student allowances. Anyone who’s changed paths from vet nursing or has advice on balancing study, money, and a new career?
