I currently waitress and I've worked at my job for over a year. I'm good at my job and all of my coworkers are kind and I haven't had any problems really with anyone.

However, I have't worked in around 2ish weeks. I've been scheduled less (we hired a bunch of people) and I have put up my shifts to study for finals / take exams.

The problem is, when I haven't worked in awhile I tend to almost "demonize" it a lot worse than usual. It truly feels like all my coworkers hate me, my managers hate me and want me gone, I don't belong, I'm gonna mess everything up, etc.

Everything feels wrong. I feel like I can't go in, sometimes to the extent of having a full on breakdown and sobbing and crying, to the point where I call in.

I've been trying to work on it, but I work tomorrow I go into work and I feel like I'm gonna have a breakdown about it.

Does anyone else experience this? If so, have you gotten over it?

I currently work at Olive Garden, and I'm just getting tired of doing a million refills for pretty mediocre tips.. endless soup and salad.. yk the drill.

I was thinking about applying to either longhorn or texas roadhouse, both of which tend to be pretty busy in my area. I was wondering what your guys' personal experience was with either, and would it be worth it to switch?
