For many corporate employees, the weekend is supposed to be a break from work. But for one Bengaluru woman, it often feels like the anxiety of school exams never really ended. Charu Gupta, who has been working for three years, recently shared a video on Instagram about the constant pressure of corporate life. She compared the experience to being back in school, where unfinished assignments and the fear of upcoming exams could follow you long after the school day ended.
“It’s been three years since I’ve been working at a job, but even today I feel like I’m in school and my exams are going on. Her experience struck a chord with social media users, particularly those familiar with the Sunday-night anxiety that comes with knowing Monday is just around the corner. One user wrote, “Same here & I love Saturday no worry about next day.
It’s like, “Just let me pass today somehow; let today just get over at the office somehow, and I’ll be better prepared for tomorrow’s exam,” she said. Several users said her comparison between school exams and corporate work captured the reality of their own working lives. Another said, “It’s literally like you’re in an exam .. but here you’re allowed to cheat allowed to ask from people.. that’s it.”
