Changes are scary but you can join the Great Resignation
Do you have a nagging feeling that your current job just isn’t the right fit? Have you been trying to “fix” what’s not broken? Then it may be time for a change. There are certain signs, which we’ll explore here, that indicate when it would be best to quit your job and find something new.
1. You feel like you’re not learning anything new at work
It may be time to quit when you feel like you’re not learning anything new at work. This stagnation can lead to boredom and unhappiness in the workplace. You may also find that you’re no longer challenged in your job and simply go through the motions each day. If this sounds like you, it’s probably time to move on.
2. Your boss is no longer an inspiration to you but instead a source of stress
When there are days, you feel like your boss is great at letting you know what she wants, but there are also other days where you feel like she punishes you for not knowing what she want, maybe it’s time to find a new job. It’s often said that you leave your manager, not your company. This is so true. You probably spend more time with your boss than anyone else in the company. If you can’t stand the thought of going to work each day because of your manager, it’s time to find a new job.
3. The company culture has shifted, and it’s not the same place that gave you fulfillment in the past.
When the company culture no longer supports your personal and professional goals, it may be time to quit. You might feel undervalued or unappreciated by your coworkers, be stuck in a dead-end job, or have a general sense that the company doesn’t care about its workers. If any of these sound familiar, it may be time to start looking for a new job.
4. You see under-qualified people getting promoted because they are friends with the right people
I know. It’s about who you know but not what you know, right? We like to think that the best person for the job will get promoted, but sometimes that’s not always the case. You may be unhappy if you see less competent people than you getting promoted into roles that they did not truly earn on their own merit. If this sounds familiar, it’s probably time to quit your job. I am sure you have experienced this from school projects to your current projects. There are workers, and there are hustlers. If you feel like you are doing all the work yet someone else is getting all the credit, it may be time to look for a new job.
5. The people around you are toxic and make your job more difficult or unpleasant
When you’re surrounded by negative people at work, it can make your job more difficult or even unpleasant. You have heard of the saying “cancer in the locker room.” Toxic coworkers can often make the work environment hostile and uncomfortable. They may gossip about others, interfere with your work, or simply make the day-to-day grind of working at a job more difficult. If this is happening at your job, it may be time to quit and find a new place to work.
In the end, it is important to find a work environment that suits you best. If you are having negative thoughts at your current job or feeling unhappy with how things are going in general, this might indicate that it’s time for something new. It can take courage and bravery to make changes in one’s life, but if we don’t do anything about our situation after some time has passed, there won’t be any improvement on its own.
