This study aims to analyze the organization, conditions and working experiences of teachers in Brazil during the COVID-19 pandemic. This is an exploratory-descriptive study with a mixed methodology design. An online questionnaire with both open and closed questions was used as a data collection instrument. Data were analyzed through simple statistics and thematic analysis. A total of 61 teachers participated in this research, whose average age was 42.7 years. The results suggested that the participants have been working more, have been working more overtime, have been doing more housework, and have been putting an effort to meet the same number of – or even more – deadlines and goals. Symptoms which are associated with depression, such as sadness, discouragement, hopelessness, tiredness and exhaustion, have also been identified. It was concluded that Brazilian teachers have been experiencing an increasing precariousness of both organization and working conditions throughout the pandemic, which demands immediate health, labor protection and social public policies.
