3 Good Reasons to Quit your Job to Find a New One

Are your Opinions Ignored?

Is your Line Manager Career Obsessed?

Do you Approach Each Day in a State of Mild Depression?

Then, it is time to quit your job

There are many reasons why we tolerate a job which is unrewarding, unfulfilling, and at times depressing. Mostly these are financial reasons, especially if we have dependents. This is perfectly understandable; there are bills to pay, someone has to put food on the table, and if that means a temporary life of drudgery to do it, so be it.

That said, the work life balance often does not give us much time to find another job. The problem is that both work and non - work often activities inhibits your time. The time you would like to devote to finding a job is spent doing essentials. This results in the temporary life of drudgery being a more permanent arrangement than we would like.

Though quitting your job is a risky solution, is life really long enough to tolerate:

Disregarded Input

It is not uncommon for line managers to simply disregard input from their employees. Although on occasion there may be solid reasons for this, mostly it means you have been pigeonholed as someone who has a specific role and is unworthy of advancement. In fact you have been pigeonholed as someone who is not worth listening to.

It goes without saying that the time to quit and go to pastures new has come. Unless you have a change of line manager this is unlikely to change and fighting the regime you're working under will sap both your energy and your time. Time you could be spending looking for another job. Putting in your notice will give you back some self respect, and free up your time to find another job.

Your Achievements are Stolen and Unrewarded

Often we find that many executives want a new career because they feel that their achievements are making their line manager look good, while they go unnoticed in the big picture. Good line managers have realised that work is a team game. So if an employee does well for him or her, and the team does well, it works well for the line manager and the whole team. This leads to greater achievements for everyone and opens the door to opportunities.

Sadly, not every line manager likes to share the love and tries to capture the glory of others for him or herself. If you are one of the people advancing your line manager's career while your own stagnates, it is time to jump ship.

Your Role is has no Future

Even though you have an executive position it often is the case a role has no future. This could be for the reasons above, or it could be for other reasons beyond your control. Either way, the time to leave has come. If you're getting up in the morning approaching work under a cloud, then why waste your time?

Once you have realised it's time to quit your job, then you simply have to find another job and make the leap. Though there are bills to pay sometimes you have to get out before the job grinds you into a mess, especially if your line managers are the cause.
