Have you started a job recently? Or maybe in the last year or so?

Do you still feel satisfied with it?
If not, maybe you need to reconsider whether or not it is the right long term position for you. There is no shame in admitting that a company isn’t the right fit for you even after you’ve given them significant time. Here are some things you can consider to know whether or not your restlessness is an indicator of something more.

  1. Business is going downhill. It is normal to experiences ups and downs throughout a year or over several years. If the pattern is recurring it may be time to abandon ship.
  2. You hate your boss. Mutual respect is essential for a good working relationship. If you don’t respect them and they don’t respect you it isn’t likely to change.
  3. Your circumstances have changed. Quitting isn’t always about hating your job. Maybe you recently had a child or are moving. There are many reasons to leave a job.
  4. You don’t like the corporate culture. If your core values are significantly different from those of the company, you may want to think about finding a job at a place that makes more sense for your personality.
  5. You’re not having fun anymore. Do you struggle to get out the door in the morning? Do you come home in tears or angry? If you don’t like what you do, change it.
  6. The company isn’t on the up and up. Unethical behavior from any part of management is a huge red flag and a signal that you should leave.
  7. You’re not a perfect angel. Part of the reason this job isn’t a good fit could be related to something you’ve done. If you’ve made a crucial mistake and can’t recover, leave on your own terms.
  8. You despise your coworkers. You spend more time in the office than you do at home so it is important that you get along well with your coworkers.
  9. Your health is suffering. Are you physically ill more than you are not? Stress can cause a number of physical conditions and nothing is worth your health.
  10. You’ve hit a ceiling. Are you unchallenged on the job? You need to expand your horizons and find something where you are learning and growing.
