Is it normal to dread going to work every day?

While occasional work dread is normal, especially on Monday mornings or during stressful periods, dreading work every single day is a sign that something needs to adapting to change. This could indicate poor job fit, toxic workplace culture, Occupational burnout, or that your values don't align with your work. Persistent work dread can lead to Major depressive disorder, Anxiety disorder, and physical health problems. Consider what specifically you dread and whether these issues can be addressed, or if it's time to explore other opportunities.
