Are you feeling increasingly unhappy about your job? Do you find yourself day dreaming about other things you could do with the time you spend at work? Do you dread the thought of Monday mornings?

Then, it may be time for you to quit your job. Or, alternatively, address the issues that you dislike about your current job. Without leaving your job, you may be able to solve the problems and make your current job - work.

So, How Do You Know When It's Time for You to Go?

Dislike Towards Employer, Coworkers or Customers

idea posted by Jyoti Kapoor HR Manager, Cybage Software

Maybe you like your work but dislike your current employer, coworkers or customers. Explore your options to move to a different employer.

Make sure that the unhappiness isn't inside of you, however, and that it really is due to the actions of others. (Perhaps your employer is unethical in his treatment of the customer. Maybe your coworkers are all miserable and constantly complaining about their work.)

Look carefully for a pattern in your own actions. As an example, do you repeatedly start out at a new job and location but then quickly becoming disillusioned? If you identify a pattern, the unhappiness may all be internally generated. If the unhappiness is inside of you, only you can make you feel better and make your job - work.

When you gain much experience, and you find out the seniors are handling things in incorrect way, its obvious you point it out. But in case when the seniority comes in, the senior always will feel I am doing it right, you have just joined this company and don't teach me things. This is the point you might want to shift. Take in mind, in most of the cases, employee never leaves job, he only leaves the manager.

Good debate Jyoti.It is true that when you do not achieve you lack interest in your job thus you dislike your employer when he goes harsh against you, you dislike your co workers when personal ego develops or get irritated with the harsh behavior of your customers. But then this all are inter connected hence you intend to leave your job only when you dislike your employer and coworkers. lack of Achievement is a temporary failure. It can be rectified but losing interest in employer or co worker leads to shifting of job. This all depends how you take it. After all it is a mind game.Thanks for referring

WHEN U FEEL, UR NOT DOING JUSTICE TO YOUR OWN TIME !

idea posted by Naushad H.L. Creative Director, MAD COMMUNICATION

Its time to call it a day, when you cant do justice to the limited time that God has given you on this earth...

Since you cant do justice to your own self, your EMPLOYER naturally suffers. That means you are EXTRA BAGGAGE to your Company. This frame of mind will compell you to find faults with everything around you... your Employer, your Collegues, your Environment, your office Loo, your Work timings, your Clients... the list is endless here too.

Then, its time for you to take a walk... towards what may seem to you " GREENER PASTURES". This act will relieve you & your Company from a whole lot of stress & embarrassment.

Since im self employed & when I feel im just sittng & hatching... I take a walk, go out & think creatively. It helps & when I get back, im back to work with vigour & whole lot of creative inputs.

Happy Debating Friends !

Individual’s choice will tell or Individual’s need.

idea posted by Akhilesh Kumar HR Officer, Hayat Communications

Everybody has difference choice.

  1. Money : For somebody money is the first preference. If money is the first preference and individual feel he/she is not getting paid what he/she deserves. Then it is time to go.
  2. Career Growth : Somebody gives first preference to his/her career. And when he/she find there is no career growth in present employer then it’s time to go.
  3. Job Satisfaction: When you are not satisfied what you were looking for then it’s time to go.

when you wake up every morning increasingly wondering "Oh! not another day at work!" it is time for you to go. Usually the lack of appreciation is what starts it off....then it grows to indifference towards what you do your colleagues and clients. When that happens your job has died!

Sir, i agree to your idea which is a real fact

Lack of achievement

idea posted by K. NARAYAN None, None

I have left jobs when I realized that there was nothing that I could achieve by staying on in the job.

A job should never be only to earn money , though money is certainly one of the reasons one works. Job satisfaction is a much bandied about term , but I can stay on in a job even without job satisfaction , as long as I see that I am contributing something ; as long as I see that my working there is fulfilling some purpose.

When I can see that my staying on is practically useless and purposeless , then it is time for me to go.

of course if u r not feeling proud of ur job then y do it...watever we have studied is not only for money its about job satisfaction..i'll put my own example i left my previous co. only because i was not foreseeing any prospects of addding good work in my portfolio..for the beginners it's very essential to look for a company that offers job satisfaction and for those who are experienced enough they have achived accolades because of their work only.

The Employer is Clever

idea posted by Akhilesh S Joshi India Coordinator

At times the employer starts acting clever. This occurs when the employer has learnt the operation and way of running the business or relevant work, he starts behaving with the key employee, narrating the excuses of weak balance sheet and less profit, thereof. By doing this he curtails in salaries of suitable and adequate employees while believing on back biters OR non-professional ideas of other employees. This attitude of the employer heartens the sincere ones. I feel that at this juncture the sincere employees should consider 'It's time to leave' and look for professionally managed company and employer.

Dear Akhilesh, There are many more things where the employer in not clever but pretend to be one being the employer. They do not listen to the professional advice but get carried away by the flattery of their own people who also score on wrong feed back and also know what the employers wants to listen to. Unfortunately the employers loses sooner or later but the professional loses earlier as the non conducive working environment takes away the working pleasure, which is must for any organization to work with.

When you feel a personal growth cycle is ending

idea posted by domenico fama HR Business Parner, international Bank

Each of us makes experience of a growing curve in what we are doing.

When we perceive the growth cycle is ending, it's time to seek for change (if not employer, could be professional area, unit, etc)

When your responsibility takes shape without you!

idea posted by Makrand Bhave Marketing & MICE, WIZCRAFT International

Its just one of those days and you decide to take the day off by calling in sick or being casual about it...

That fateful day, if your responsibility takes shape without you in the seat, it is a clear signal that you have been displaced and work will continue even if you arent anywhere near your workplace. It actually translates into look for a suitable job placement... ELSEWHERE!!

There would be personal indications of your mind sending you signals etc, but this one reason is the reason to quit, take your notice period in and strat utilising it to get a new job!! Thanks for the referral Priyanka :)

Can't Stand The Boss

idea posted by SANGRAM Community Manager, TooStep.Com

This is the number one reason people give for why they leave their current job or employer. When managers are nasty, abusive, and controlling, this is understandable. There are more subtle things some managers do, however, that drive staff away.

These include failing to:

    * provide direction,
    * involve people in decisions about their work,
    * appreciate staff contributions, and
    * help develop the talents and abilities of their employees.
