If your inbox always wins, itโs time to flip the script!
Your inbox wonโt get you a raise.
Your resume might.
Think about it, you have 3 open job tabs.
Youโre โthinking about applying.โ
But that thinking has lasted 6 days and you’re daunted just thinking about “tailoring the resume.”
โ Letโs turn โthinkingโ into doing. Ready to chat? www.calendly.com/mjwcareers
And speaking of getting a proper resume going, I was fortunate enough to be featured in another fantastic article by Allwork: ๐ง๐๐ ๐ณ๐ ๐ข๐๐พ๐บ๐๐พ ๐ ๐ฅ๐๐๐๐๐พ ๐ฎ๐ฟ ๐ถ๐๐๐ ๐ฅ๐๐พ๐พ ๐ฅ๐๐๐ ๐ณ๐๐พ ๐ฒ๐๐๐ฝ๐บ๐ ๐ฒ๐ผ๐บ๐๐๐พ๐.
The Sunday Scaries are real โ and theyโre not just about individual moods or workloads. Gallup and APA data show theyโre a warning sign that leadership and workplace design must evolve.
My take:
The Psychology Behind the Sunday Scaries
โAt its core,โ says Matthew Warzel, owner of MJW Careers, โthe Sunday Scaries are a reaction to burnout, lack of clarity, and feeling like work controls your life instead of the other way around.โ Quick fixes wonโt work. Companies must โcreate real boundaries around time off, give people more autonomy, and ensure roles and expectations are crystal clear.โ
The Role of Emotionally Intelligent Leadership
Matthew Warzel makes a similar case: โLeaders who actually listen, check in with empathy, and respond instead of reacting can make all the difference.โ For him, emotionally intelligent leadership starts before the week begins, with thoughtful work design elements such as natural light, flexible hours, and streamlined scheduling helping people feel more seen, supported, and less dependent on weekend recovery.
Designing Work That People Want to Return To
Matthew Warzel echoes this view, pointing to cultures of trust and growth: โIโve seen companies offer four-day workweeks, flexible โstart your week your wayโ setups, and cultures where coaching and growth conversations are baked into the rhythm of work, not just once a year. The teams that thrive arenโt just given perks; theyโre trusted, supported, and given space to grow. When people feel like their job is helping them move forwardโnot holding them backโthey actually start looking forward to Monday. Itโs not magic. Itโs just good design and better leadership.โ
