Is There a Right Time to Quit?

I am sure no one wants to quit their job. I am afraid there are times in life when you really have to quit unless if you think you can handle the situation, ignore as if nothing happened and pretend to be happy at work. The truth is you can do all that for the very first few weeks.

After that, you will start to break down bit by bit. You won’t realise this, but the people around you will realise. Your behaviour might reflect your emotions as well.

Perhaps it is time to quit, if you have come across these signs:

1. You hate going to work (this is more than just hating Mondays).

2. You are bored at work (you have a pile of work but somehow you can’t get it done on time because it is boring).

3. You hate your co-workers (office politic is normal but there are people who love to crush you every day).

4. The company you are working with is in trouble (perhaps on the brink of bankruptcy?).

5. You don’t feel as part of the company (you feel as if you an outsider even when you have worked at the same place for years).

6. You hate your boss (nothing can change this, no point working for someone you hate).

7. They treat you like garbage (you have done everything you can, contribute all your time and effort to improve the company but they are not appreciating all your work).

8.You don’t have a proper work station (it is standard for a staff to have his or her own work place).

9. You are over-worked (long hours and no increase in salary?).

10. You are not advancing in your career (you are stuck at the same place after working for ten years).

Sounds familiar? Perhaps it is time to think about your career status. There is no reason to force yourself to go to work when you are not happy with your work at all.

Money is important for living, but sanity is more important!
