Right Job, Wrong Job
Sometimes it's not you — it's the fit. This workbook gives you a structured way to work out whether it's the role, the workplace, or the fit that's wrong, and what to do next.
This is for you if…
- You keep wondering if the problem is the job, the company, or you.
- You want a clear-headed way to decide whether to stay, ask for change, or leave.
- You're tired of going in circles about it in your head.
Inside the work-fit check
- A simple scored self-check
- Four work-fit areas to assess
- Three routes: stay and adjust, protect yourself, or plan the exit
- Scripts for asking for changes at work

Is your job wrong for you — or is it the way the job is set up?
That is the bit most people get stuck on.
Especially if you are ADHD, autistic, AuDHD, burnt out, or quietly surviving work by pretending everything is fine.
Because when work feels awful, it is easy to think: “I can't cope.” But that may be too vague to help.
This work-fit check helps you sort out what is actually going on.
It looks at four things
- The work itself
- The environment
- The people
- The recovery cost after work
Because sometimes the tasks are fine, but the noise is wrecking you.
Sometimes the people are the problem.
Sometimes the job looks “good on paper” but eats every useful bit of you by 6pm.
Lovely. Very modern. Very “bring your whole self to work” until your whole self needs three days under a blanket.
What you'll get
Inside this fillable PDF, you'll get:
- A simple scored self-check
- Four work-fit areas to assess
- A clear score guide
- A “what this means” section
- A job fit checklist you can reuse
- A decision page with three routes: stay and adjust, stay but protect yourself, or plan the exit
- Scripts for asking for changes at work
This is made to help you stop going round in circles.
No huge workbook. No fake career reinvention nonsense.
Just a practical check that helps you name the real problem.
Who it's for
This is for you if:
- Work drains you more than it seems to drain other people
- You keep wondering whether to stay or leave
- You struggle to explain what is wrong
- You are tired of being told to be more resilient
- You want a clearer way to think about work fit
- You need practical next steps, not another “reflect on your values” activity
You can use it for your current job. You can also use it before applying for another one.
Because accidentally walking into the same problem with a different logo is a classic little workplace prank.
Who it's not for
This will not magically fix a bad manager. Annoying, I know.
It also will not tell you exactly what to do with your life. That would be suspiciously confident for a PDF.
It will help you see whether your current struggle is mainly about:
- The tasks
- The environment
- The people
- The unclear expectations
- The recovery cost
- The overall fit
That is useful information.
Especially before you quit, burn out, over-explain yourself, or spend six months blaming your personality.
What this helps with
This check can help you:
- Make sense of workplace stress
- Spot what is fixable
- Decide what to ask for
- Work out what to stop tolerating
- Compare your current job with future roles
- Prepare for conversations about adjustments
- Stop treating every bad workday as a personal failure
This is a self-reflection and workplace planning resource. It is not legal, medical, HR, or employment advice. It is written mainly from a UK workplace context, but workplace rights and processes vary by country, employer, contract, and situation. If you are dealing with a formal workplace issue, get advice from ACAS, your union, Citizens Advice, occupational health, your GP, or a qualified legal professional.
Is your job wrong for you — or is it the way the job is set up?
