If you’re experiencing any of the signs below, it’s time to start looking for a new job (no doubts!)
1. You’re greeted with dread on Monday mornings
If the thought of going to work on Monday mornings fills you with dread, it’s a clear sign that you need to change your job. It’s normal to have occasional bouts of Monday blues, but if this feeling becomes a regular occurrence, it’s time to move on.
2. You’re on a first-name basis with the pizza delivery guy
If you’re ordering takeout for dinner every night because you’re too exhausted from work to cook, it’s a sign that your job is draining you. A fulfilling job should leave you with enough energy to enjoy your evenings and weekends.
3. Your office looks like a scene from The Office (the TV show)
If your office environment is more similar to the dysfunctional Scranton branch of Dunder Mifflin than a professional workplace, it’s time to find a company with a more professional atmosphere.
4. Your boss thinks “employee benefits” means “free coffee”
If your company’s idea of employee benefits is limited to a few cups of stale coffee, it’s time to find a job with a company that values its employees and invests in their well-being.
5. Your coworkers think “collaboration” means “talking over each other”
If you feel like you’re constantly competing with your coworkers to be heard, and teamwork feels like a pipe dream, it’s time to find a company with a more collaborative culture.
Life’s too short to spend eight hours a day doing something that makes you miserable, so go out there and find a job that makes you happy!
