The job market is open to all candidates, as employers are still reeling from The Great Resignation. Employers are scrambling to retain top employees after The Great Discontent.
A ResumeBuilder.com survey revealed that 23% will leave their jobs in 2022. This is sure to throw the labor market back into a tailspin. Should you quit your current job?
You should consider looking for a job if you notice any of these signs
Do you dread going to work? You’ve been passed over for another promotion? You’re earning less than what you are worth? Here are a few good reasons to rethink your career path and begin looking for new opportunities. Your well-being matters, even if it is scary to take the leap. Your well-being is important to some potential employers. Your community of work is a place you will spend many hours in, so make it a happy one. These are some good reasons to look for a new position:
1. Your work has not been recognized
A Bonusly survey revealed that 46% left their jobs due to feeling underappreciated. It’s not necessary to have a gold medal on your forehead. But recognition for excellent work can be a powerful motivator. It may be time to update the resume if your good work is not being noticed.
2. The boundaries of ethics have been crossed
What do you do? What should you do? What do you do? You don’t wish to ruin your reputation. It may seem acceptable to others, but it is not for you. If your boss doesn’t see any problem, you can start thinking about a new career.
3. Stress levels through the roof
According to the Workable survey on mental health, 40% of employers believe that mental wellness is a critical factor for worker performance and productivity. If you are burning out and the knock-on effect is affecting your home life and health, it’s time for a change. Talk to your boss to find out how to reduce your workload. If it doesn’t, you might want to try another job.
4. You can’t just be yourself at the office
Everyone has a social and a work mask. When these masks are 180o apart, it can be a problem. You will come across as a person who is authentic and right where they wish to be if you are able to stay true to yourself. If you are in a situation where you must “fake” it until you make it, that’s a big red flag.
5. You’ve reached your career ceiling
You can get ahead at work in many ways. However, they all follow the same upward trajectory. Consider where you want to be and how you can get there if you feel stuck. It’s time to move on if your current employer doesn’t support your goals or has the resources to do so.
6. A series of layoffs have occurred
Even if you are still employed, multiple rounds of layoffs could be bad news. First, if the company is having trouble solving its problems, you may be facing a layoff in the near future. A smaller workforce means a heavier workload for the staff that remains. You’ll likely have to take on the responsibilities of your former coworkers. Talk to your boss honestly about the current state of your company and job. Then make an informed choice.
7. You work in an hostile environment
It’s possible that you are either the victim of or a witness to acts that can only fall under the category of discrimination or harassment. Toxic workplace is the less-illegal cousin of a hostile working environment. You’re likely to find low morale, bad leadership, no communication and some pretty awful coworkers. It’s time to find a new job if the idea of going to work makes you depressed.
8. You are not earning what you’re worth
In our survey on Great Discontent, 62% respondents said that compensation was the most important factor when deciding whether to switch companies. Money is important. Do your research if you feel you are not being paid enough. Use online calculators to compare salaries and standards in the industry. With the data you have gathered, talk to your boss and try to negotiate a pay that is in line with your contribution to the company. You have the right to demand fair compensation for your work. If you can’t get it, then perhaps you should look for someone who will.
9. You are bored at work
The effects of boreout can be serious. The term “burnout” has been used for many years. However, “boreout”, is not as well-known. Boreout can be caused by a mental overload at work. It can manifest as serious symptoms such as insomnia, depression and listlessness. To combat boreout, find new challenges at work or change jobs to one that will stimulate your brain.
Final Thoughts
Quitting smoking can cause tension and make you question your standards. You may be wondering “Am I asking too much?” or “But everyone here is okay with this”. The first step is to have a meaningful conversation with your boss. However, this doesn’t always resolve the issue. Don’t let your fears stop you from achieving professional happiness, whether you are looking for new career opportunities or trying to escape a toxic work environment.
