You know the adage: a shark that stops moving is a dead shark. The same is true at work, where you risk dying of boredom if you stop making progress. Is it time to quit your current job? Here are a dozen signs that do not deceive:
Getting to work is a chore
You are always depressed on Sunday night, you get up on the wrong foot on Monday morning, and the thought of starting another week at work is enough to make you negative.
You are no longer passionate about your job
You nostalgically reflect on the first few years when you were truly passionate about your work.
You lack a challenge
You have long mastered your responsibilities and now it is all repetition and monotony. So you feel like you can never give your full potential.
You would do things differently if you were the boss
You have 1001 ideas on how to make the business better, but don't have the power or the opportunity to implement them.
Your workload is increasing, but your salary is not
Your coworkers leave without being replaced and suddenly you find yourself doing more for the same salary.
Your colleagues get on your nerves
You no longer enjoy chatting with your colleagues. Worse, some of them make your working days seem longer and longer.
Your personal situation has changed
Has your partner got a job in another city? Does your partner tell you that she is pregnant and that you will have a new mouth to feed? These are all good reasons to explore new avenues.
You can no longer find the balance
You spend more and more time at work and this has an increasingly important impact on your personal life, not to mention your stress level which is constantly increasing.
Your company is no longer moving
You see that your company is no longer up to its competitors and you look forward to its future with concern.
You have received another offer
When your talents are recognized more externally than internally, life itself is beckoning you!
If one or more of these statements apply to your current situation, it's probably best to consider other career options. Once you've made your decision, all you have to do is tell your boss.
