8 signs it's time to quit
8 signs it's time to quit!
What is today's post about? Hmm...simple, we will be talking about the word 'QUIT'. It is a word oftenly used in games, work and life. Does it meant so much? Let's find out. Here's the definition of 'Quit' which is; to stop, cease, or discontinue.
Hmm...Let's explore why people actually quit their jobs. Some people put the monetary side of the job at the first priority. Eh...I think most people do the same, don't they? Lols. Anyway, a job with the highest salary gets to attract more people. In another word, most people work for money not money work for the people. Also, these jobs will have a lot of competitors. And also to be more outstanding, the employer often take out those with the highest education level. This job is for those HR managers etc;. I don't wanna go in depth, anyway.
Secondly, people work for passion and dream. Some people who don't mind earning lesser money if they got a job they like. People like this often lives a simple life as they are pretty contented with what they are doing. One good example is Raven (My friend)'s sister! She is an artist who graduated from famous art institute, Lasalle. I think that's all.
Now, let's see which 8 signs will make you quit. The followings:
1. You don't fit in. Your values don't match the company's. If your colleagues are "dishonest and focused on getting ahead regardless of legal or moral barriers," Bayer says, it's time to quit before an Enron-style scandal sinks the ship.
2. Your boss doesn't like you and you don't like him or her. If your boss never asks your opinion, and never wants to chat or have lunch with you, and if you disagree with her agenda and dislike her style, your days are numbered. Adds Bayer: "If you've ever done something that undermined your boss, you might as well get out now."
3. Your peers don't like you. Feeling isolated, gossiped about, and excluded from the inner workings of the organization is a very bad sign, as is feeling that you're not part of the team and wouldn't socialize with your colleagues even if they asked you.
4. You don't get assignments that demonstrate the full range of your abilities. "Watching all the good assignments go to others, while you're given the ones that play to your weaknesses or are beneath your professional level, should tell you something," says Bayer. Likewise, if it seems the boss doesn't trust your judgment, you're in trouble.
5. You always get called upon to do the "grunt work." Everybody has to take on a dull or routine task now and then, but if you are constantly being singled out to do the work no one else wants, alarm bells should ring.
6. You are excluded from meetings your peers are invited to. Sound familiar? If it's painfully clear that your ideas aren't valued, why stick around?
7. Everyone on your level has an office. You have a cubicle in the hallway. Bayer notes that, whatever your title, your digs can speak volumes about your real status in the organization. If your peers have offices with windows and you're asked to move into a broom closet - no matter what the official explanation - start cleaning out your desk.
8. You dread going to work and feel like you're developing an ulcer. Ah, here's yet another of your symptoms, and a particularly nasty one at that.
