Has your mind recently been swirling around leaving your job, even if it is stable? It is a major indication that you may NEED to change your job.
You may have mixed feelings about the job as you may feel like leaving the job even if it is perfectly fine and stable.
But this is where the twist comes, you need to leave your stable job. Every employee needs to grow in their career and staying in a stable job and in your comfort zone will restrict you from doing so.
Hence, even if it seems scary, you need to leave your current, stable job. Here are some reasons why.
1. You’re not really happy with your job
Being satisfied or being happy with your job are two completely different things. If you are just satisfied, then you may need to change your job. You should look for a job role and company that makes you excited to get up in the morning and go to work on a weekday.
2. Bad office culture
You spend the majority of your life in your workplace and so it is necessary that you be surrounded by good colleagues who make working bearable. Working in a toxic environment can make you hate your job and can even bring down your morale.
3. Long working hours
A stable job doesn’t mean you work longer than usual. If you are asked to work for longer hours once or twice, it is alright but if your boss is making it a habit, you may need to rethink your decision. You need to balance your personal life as long working hours can affect your mental and physical health as well.
4. Better job opportunity
If you have got a better job opportunity at the table, take it. Don’t decline because you already have a stable job. Strive to achieve more. Get new goals that you can go after. You won’t be able to grow if you remain in the same place forever.
5. Health issues
If you are suffering from persistent health issues, then it is a perfectly good reason to quit your job. Your job may be a reason why you have been feeling so much stress, causing major health problems. If you have enough savings to last you for some time, you can take a break for a year to replenish your health.
6. Going for a school certificate
If you are eager to expand your knowledge and go back to school, you can always take a sabbatical leave or quit your job to get a college degree. And if you’re an employee who is juggling school and work together, it may be a good idea to focus on your education and return back to work, only after you complete your degree.
