Toxic Workplace or Wrong Career?

You do not know if it is this job, or if any job would feel this way to you. Your coworkers seem fine. Are you just not cut out for this?

That is a fair, honest question, and it has a real answer.

Signs It Is the Workplace

If the dread lifts noticeably on vacation, if you like the actual work but dread specific people or politics, if the same complaint keeps coming from multiple coworkers — the environment is likely the real problem.

Signs It Is the Career Itself

If the dread follows you even in good weeks, if you have felt this at every job in the field, if the core tasks themselves feel wrong regardless of the people around you — often surfacing as outright burnout rather than simple dissatisfaction, that points somewhere deeper.
