I want to quit my job!

Targetting on the signs when you feel like leaving your job and of course when you should not-

You feel out of the league

I want to quit my job
It is the right time to quit your job when you just go and work and terms like competition, professionalism, or attending meetings sound annoying. When you do not want to participate, leave the game. simple!

Bad Colleagues

just bad colleagues
Some call it a competition in positive terms but when it is bad it is the worst. You don't feel like going to the job today because you have to face some creep out there. Being in a professional environment, you prefer not to show him/her the real view you have of them. And, when you try to, that's all in vain.

Manager's weird gesture at times

Why are you acting so weird?
Your manager is nice and sweet but then suddenly he is all against you and you don't understand why? Might be because he takes you as a strong competitor or just his mood swings but when it goes for long, there has to be something which you should know and take serious steps. Other weird behaviours of managers include tracking your time, poking you every single hour, giving vague responses and many more.

Things are not going as planned

Plan of action goes wrong
You worked hard and planned a good appraisal or a good position but it did not happen. Or you participate in a training that left you clueless about your current plans. Something other than this job must be influencing you or you think it is the time to take a break.

Office politics

Office Politics
You could be the one who never participates in it but does not get offended by others action. But, if you are now feeling nostalgic and think it as a mess, it could be the time. There would be occasions when you start judging the politics like 'what rubbish is this? I can even predict what is going to happen. what is the point of saying it politics? Call this bullshit' Normal thoughts when you think yourself out of the box.

You become the offensive types


You literally do not like anybody and offend to any statement stated. There is nobody left now whom you do not fight with. E-mail quarrelsome behaviour is quite regular now. The reason could be any but this is high time you should think about your goal plans and actions.

Feelings of being de-valued

I am being devalued
You think your opinion now does not matter to your superiors and are not being undertaken. You are not appreciated for your analysis report or completely ignored. This could be the time to upgrade yourself like software needs to be updated after some interval of time. We, as an employee, need to update ourselves too with new learnings.

Whatever it is, you should have something lined up

Do not wait for the time when you were asked to leave or change the project or get signals from your manager like targetting you every time and giving a bad feedback. Make a plan of action for yourself and be ready for the survival always. Without a plan, life could be worse than this job.
