We all work and put in maximum efforts towards our job to earn bread and butter. Like most of the people we spend our maximum time at workplace. If this is the scenario with you also, it is advisable to spend such valuable time at a place where you like to go, which nourishes you. Be it with values in personal life or professional life. But there are times when you feel like quitting your job. At such times, you need to dig deep down the rat-hole of problems if it is really worth to quit your job.

We understand that you do not want to wreak havoc in your career by taking abrupt decisions. But staying in a harmful workplace can be even more critical than simply leaving it. Well, if you find one of the below reasons viable, then dear friend, it may be really time to say bid a farewell to your employer.

Quit Your Job before it Quits You

You are Stuck in the Same Role

Just how people grow with age, our job roles and responsibilities also grow (increase!) with experience. We understand that sometimes when you love what you are doing, you don’t want to go anywhere else. But even if it is something of your interest, it should help you grow as a person and in your career. It should help you enhance your talent and skills.

Moreover, even after satisfactory performances from your end, if only your colleagues and co-workers are bagging bonuses and assignments, you know where you stand and what step you should be taking.

Compromise on Health and Personal Life

Let’s say your employer is paying you a 7-digit salary. But to earn that you need to work for so many hours that it affects your health and personal life. The stress levels that you pass through bring in depression, blood pressure, and other problems to your health.

When you are toiling away till late hours, you also do not get quality time to spend with your family and friends. Is the 7-digit salary worth all this? When your answer to this question is a firm ‘No’, you know the right step to take is to quit your job.

It is really not as important to earn big pay-checks as it is to have a quality family-time and to keep your body healthy. You can always earn a living, but not your family time or health.

A Two-faced Boss

We have good managers, bad managers, and then the worse of them- Two-faced managers. It is easier to differentiate between a good manager and a bad one. But you are always in confusion when dealing with a two-faced boss. He may sugar-coat things in front of you, and on the other side he may bad-mouth about you in front of others.

Beware folks! This is the worst kind of a manager to work with. At times he can even take credits for your hard work or easily throw blame on you for something going wrong.

Your Company is on a Downward Spiral

According to a study, almost 71 percent of small businesses shut down in their tenth operating year, as Entrepreneur reports. Sometimes it’s a sudden decision, but you can surely look out for subtle cues before-hand. Dismissal or departure of members from the upper management is a major one as they are the ones always in the know-how of the company. There are other cues also that vary from company to company.

However, if you think that your organization is going to shut down and if the feeling is really strong, move towards a new job at your earliest. Waiting for the company to shut down will do nothing but leave you jobless. So before things get worse, you know you will have to make a real gut-wrenching decision.

Monday Morning Blues

We have talked about Monday morning blues before and we repeat the same thing here too. If your Monday morning blues are getting over your nervous system, draining out all your passion and ability to work; it is surely a warning sign.

Do not tame yourself by compromising things and blaming a bad week just for earning some dollars. You will get a better opportunity elsewhere and it will be more satisfying than your present one.

Just a Piece of the Puzzle

If you feel that your boss does not value your efforts and contribution towards the company, know that he sees you just as another piece of the puzzle. Being a valuable member of the company, it is necessary at times for the boss to include your views and perceptions in important decisions and tasks. What if you are always left out of important meetings, crucial project discussions or sensitive decisions regarding the company? You should know that your contribution is not valued and so, you may well, be out of the company too.

Staying out of the loop is advisable when it is something surrounding negativity, not otherwise.

Well, we understand that it is not an easy decision to simply quit your job. But if you find any or all of the above-mentioned reasons viable, you may have to take a life-changing decision. It will take all the guts that you have but it has the potential to change your life forever.

Moreover, if you want to play safe, search for other opportunities. Even better, bag a new job before quitting the current one.
