Time to move on? How to know when you should seek a new job
While we’re on the topic of work, Here are some indicators that it’s time to leave your job.
You hate waking up (to go there)
(Of course, the caveat is that you didn’t always hate waking up to go to work). If all of a sudden, the thought of waking up for work fills you with dread, start looking, right away.
Every coworker gets on your nerves. Every day.
We don’t always get along with our coworkers, that is why workshops like “Getting along with difficult people” are offered by a local work training centre where I live. However, if you feel like every coworker exists to annoy you, there isn’t one person you can tolerate talking to, working with or exchanging pleasantries with, it may be time to say sayonara.
You have received multiple warnings about your attitude or your performance
When you are not enjoying your work, you may find it hard to put any effort into it, resulting in a decrease in the quality of your work. Alternatively, you may continue to produce good work, but your attitude, in a word, stinks—you’re sullen, rude and sarcastic and don’t treat others with respect. Perhaps you stopped dressing in an appropriate fashion for work, or your personal grooming skills have plummeted. These are all indicators that you need to leave.
If you find that you are exhibiting any of these attitudes at work, it is time to reconsider your future with the company. However, if you find you have these feelings about all aspects in your life, you may be suffering from depression. Please seek out friends, family or a professional who can help you.
