Don't we all just love to grumble about our jobs - even those of us who would never even think of quitting? Not considering occasional bad days; and grumbling as a way to vent frustration from time to time, you might just be stuck in a job that is making you very unhappy.



There are some situations in which you can seriously consider quitting your job, and if you find yourself in one of them, it is in your best interests to quit.



You know it's about you when:



1. You hate the idea of going to work every morning, and no matter what, your work life makes you miserable



2. Your job is so stressful that it is affecting your entire life, including personal relationships with friends and family, as well as your physical and mental health



3. You constantly feel that your skills are completely underutilized, and that you can do a lot more than what you are currently doing



4. You have just undergone a major life change, like marriage, childbirth or the death of a close relative



5. You have, over time, cultivated a very bad reputation, such as that of a slacker, or of someone who lacks the necessary skills to remain on board



6. You have received a much better offer in another company



You know it's about your workplace when:



1. The company that you work for lacks ethics, and indulges in immortal practices



2. The corporate culture does not match your personal values



3. The company is heading towards bankruptcy, and could close soon



4. You find that you cannot work well or coordinate with your colleagues



5. Your boss belittles your efforts, humiliates you and is an incorrigible bully, or you have done something to lose the trust of your supervisor irreversibly, then you should consider leaving



6. You are marginalised and most of your regular tasks have been taken away from you Once you've made the decision to quit, start planning on what you want to do next.



Maybe you just want time off to raise your family, or want a break before you get another job. Otherwise, you could simply start looking for a new job at once.



Leaving can be quite an emotional experience and it is important to leave peacefully; refrain from burning bridges because professional contacts always come in handy.
