10 Reasons Why You Need to Look for Another Job

If you haven't started looking for a new job, you might if the cons are starting to outweigh the pros at your current job.  Sticking it out with an employer you simply don't like can wreck havoc on your health, relationship and finances.  Although you are receiving payment for your services, you most likely are spending a lot more money than you should to quell your disappointment with your career choice.  So here are 10 good reasons why you need to start looking for new employment today!

1)  There has been talk around the office that there will be major changes and you don't have the time or energy to deal with yet another long list of things to do.

2)  You stopped working as hard as you use to and it is starting to show.  Your co-workers have to clean up your errors more often and have to pick up your slack.

3)  No matter what anyone says to you about your work performance, attitude, etc. you have issue with them.

4)  You haven't been happy in a long time about your job.

5)  Your workplace woes are showing up in how you deal with your relatives or roommates.  They don't like you very much these days.

6)  Your child and/or pet often misses you and rather than take up time with him or her, you are increasingly annoyed with their mere appearance.

7)  Your partner has threatened divorce and when you think about it, your attitude about work is tied to your moodiness.  Who wants to live with that?

8)  No matter how much money, bonuses, promotions, accolades, etc. you receive, you are still not satisfied.

9)  You wish to be anywhere but work.

10)  You started looking for a job in the past hoping problems would just go away, but got distracted.  The problems are still there and you are powerless when it comes to solving them.

Now that you have read 10 reasons why setting on that mental path again to start looking for new work is occurring, start checking out those career boards.  No excuses, press forward!
