Default 10 signs that it is time to quit your job

Wow, I resemble these remarks.

The various fat loss blogs on the net have inspired me.. I think I should start a job loss blog to boost my daily motivation.

Question What do you do?

Cron, what do you do for a living that is becoming so toxic to you? And if you quit, what type of job or career would you develop?

Maybe the issue goes deeper than your current job. Have you always been in the position of having a less than fullfilling career? Maybe there is something that you've always wanted to do, that you've been putting off.

alexb7584....profession is fine, current job is okay.

It is a stable situation, I took it when the market for my profession wasn't, stayed there longer than I would have liked due to personal issues. Stable has translated into stagnant. The atmosphere around the place and my own shortcoming have translated into me letting my skills get slightly dull.

I started studying for certification exam. Once I get that I will refresh my work wadrobe and go back out into the market feeling sharp. It will just take a little time.

Talking Great

As long as you like what you do, then you're fine. Seems you just need to find a more exciting environment.

I think it's great you're looking for something else, because it means that you're growing and raising your standards. I believe that something so much better is waiting for you around the corner.

Now if you were complacent with your current surroundings, then it would mean you're being stagnant. But you're not, you're improving your life and that's awesome! And I know you're improving, because you've made some great posts in these forums.

Look at this as something that's positive and pushing you forward!

Cheers and land that great job Cron

Personally, I don't understand how anyone can have any reason other than "paycheck" for a job.

There are so few people that really love what they do, and would do it if they thought they could pick whatever they did, that I think most people feel like I do.
