For those who love their jobs and wake up in the morning so eager to go to the office– good for you. But for the rest of us who crawl out of bed and dreading the thought of spending eight hours in our tiny cubicle– I feel for you.
“As technology transforms the workplace–accelerating the pace of activities, increasing expectations and productivity demands, and blurring the lines between work and play–workers are steadily growing more unhappy with their jobs.”
But how do we know when is it the right time to leave and move on? Here are some sure-fire signs that you might have failed to notice:
1. You are getting sick- and we are referring to stress-related illness like migraines, insomnia and depression here. They come as a result of job worries and pressure back in the office. If you keep falling sick, then maybe your job is not worth it.
2. You are not challenged- you have all these skills that you acquired through years in college and previous working experience. But because your current job is demanding very little of these skills, you become hungry for challenge and feel like you have much more to offer—somewhere else.
3. You feel belittled- no one really pay attention to your voice and point of view. You feel left out in meetings and your work seems to contribute very little to the company.
4. The company is in trouble- we all want to be in a stable working environment without any fear of the company downsizing or merging. Once the rumors started to spread, it’s time to update your resume.
5. Better opportunity comes along- there’s just no reason to stay once a better offer is presented to you on a silver platter. Grab it but just make sure you leave by following the right channel and procedures.
So are we ready to move on?
