Top Ten Reasons to Quit Your Job

Right now, I am drafting my resignation letter. While checking the net for a good template (aba syempre) ;), I found this article about quitting one's job. Hmmmm, very timely. I felt it soooo much that I want to share it to you guys. Maybe you can use in the future..hehehe

Here is goes:

These are the top ten reasons why you might want to quit your current job. These are difficult, if not impossible, work problems to solve. You need to look out for your best interests. Your job consumes too many hours of too many days of your life for you to stay where you are if you're miserable. No excuses, now. If these problems exist in your current job, make a plan, and quit your job.

1. YOUR COMPANY IS EXPERIENCING A DOWNWARD SPIRAL, losing customers, losing money, and rumors of possible closure, bankruptcy and failure prevail.

> Every employee is sensitive when it comes to the company's stability. If anything happens, often times the employees are the most affected member of the company.

2. YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH YOUR MANAGER IS DAMAGED BEYOND REPAIR. You have sought help to mend the relationship but you know it is too damaged for recovery. (Perhaps you were untrustworthy, missed work on too many days, or the manager acts like an untrustworthy jerk.) Whatever the reason, the relationship is irrecoverably damaged.

> It is better to leave with at least or at most little respect rather than nothing at all.

3. YOUR LIFE SITUATION HAS CHANGED. Perhaps you have married or had a baby, and the salary and benefits no longer support your life needs. You need to move on to better opportunities to support your family.

> It would be best to work with good compensation on the side. REMEMBER: If YOU'RE NOT BEING PAID enough, think about your time that is about to be wasted as well as your future.

4. YOUR VALUES ARE AT ODDS WITH THE CORPORATE CULTURE. Perhaps your company is egalitarian and you believe in assigned parking spots for salaried employees. Your company does annual employee satisfaction surveys and you think these are a waste of time. Your company is hierarchical and you want to influence every aspect of your job. No matter where the clash is occurring, a lack of congruence with the corporate culture will destroy your attitude at work.

> Don't allow anybody else destroy you.

5. YOU'VE STOPPED HAVING FUN AND ENJOYING YOUR JOB. No matter what changed, when you dread going to work in the morning, it's time to quit your job.

> Feeling sooooo sleepy when the clock strikes at the time you've set it to wake you up? Think again. Maybe its the obvious sign.

6. YOUR COMPANY IS ETHICALLY CHALLENGED. Perhaps the managers lie to customers about the quality of the products or the day on which the product will ship. You become aware that the company is stealing information from competitors. Whatever the issue, don't stay in an organization where your ethics are out of sync.

> ETHICS is very important!

7. For whatever reason, YOU HAVE BEHAVED IN WAYS THAT ARE CONSIDERED IMPROPER at work. You've missed too many days of work, slacked off on the job, failed to maintain needed skills, and / or just generally developed the reputation of a loser. That reputation, once earned, is unlikely to change; you might as well quit your job, while you have the opportunity.

> Loosing yourself would be the last thing you could ever imagine to happen.

8. YOU'VE BURNED YOUR BRIDGES WITH YOUR COWORKERS. Your group is not getting along in an environment that requires people to work together well. Again, at some point, the reasons don't matter; start fresh in a new job and resolve to not let this situation happen again.

> It is best to work with people you are comfortable and of course you enjoy working with.

9. YOUR STRESS LEVEL IS SO HIGH AT WORK THAT IT IS AFFECTING YOUR PHYSICAL OR MENTAL HEALTH and your relationships with your friends and family. Watch for the signs of burnout and if they can't be cured, move on.

> We all have ways to properly handle stress but if it affects our being and our relationship with people around us then its a sign.

10. And the top ten reason to quit your job? YOU ARE UNCHALLENGED, need more responsibility, and seek opportunities that just don't exist for you in your current organization. You've explored the current and potential options, and they are limited. It's time to quit your job.

> Yes, I did feel this. As a result, I was not even productive to the littlest thing assigned to me. So sad.

I really hope that this would add basis in quitting our job. I bet everyone of us knows how to deal in such situation when it comes. Just don'r forget to consult our BIG BOSS of all, our LORD in every decision we make. It would be at best result if we do. God bless us all!
