The discomfort felt in the first days after returning from holidays can be a normal reaction to readjusting to the work routine. However, when tiredness, anxiety, and demotivation persist beyond the first few days, the causes may be related to the work organization itself and the conditions offered to employees.

According to the Hays Guide 2026, 44% of qualified professionals made a significant career change or changed jobs in the last 12 months. This data indicates a high trend of professional mobility, which may be related to the search for better working conditions and greater professional satisfaction.
The article suggests that the persistence of these symptoms after returning from holidays can be a warning sign of more serious problems in the work environment, which are not resolved with the rest provided by holidays.
