Reasons to quit your job

Saw this on Yahoo a couple of weeks back. Xinying also mentioned about this, so let me take this quiz to see how much I'd fare.

1) You Aren't Learning Anything New

Yes, you want to know how to do most of your job. But there are also things you want to be learning; otherwise you are not growing professionally. If you have stopped learning at work, it's time to find a job where you will learn new skills and grow professionally.

- Still learning everyday. New shit, new things to solve, new things to worry.

2)You Never Have a Day When You Wake Up Excited To Go To Work

If you wake up every morning Monday through Friday and never feel excited to go to work, that is a problem. It means you aren't enjoying your job and it is diminishing your quality of life. If you wake up every day and dread going to work, it's time to consider quitting your job.

- Pretty true.. This was what happened at my previous job, thats why I'm at my current job now, but Its getting bad.. I'm starting to wake up just to go back to office to clear shit.

3)You Spend More Time Surfing the Web Than Doing Your Job

When you are at work, you are supposed to be productive. Otherwise, it's a waste of your time and the company's money. If you are bored and surfing the web most of your work day, you may want to think about looking into job options where you'll get more stimulation and responsibilities.

-I use to do work at home, now I just surf the net and relax at my own time.

4)You Don't Like Most of Your Coworkers

There are always one or two coworkers in the office that most people can't stand. But if you don't like most of your coworkers, chances are your days aren't very enjoyable because you have to work with them day in and day out. If you can't stand most of your coworkers, it's time to think about finding a company whose employees you mesh with better.

-This is probably the only section that keeps me alive in my job.For most part, I ADORE my co-workers, I believe I have the best team with me. My managers, my girls and boys. Awesome !

5)You Aren't Making Enough Money to Pay Your Bills

If you are working your butt off and not getting paid enough to pay your bills, you might be overqualified and underpaid for your position. Go find a job that pays what you deserve.

- Ricebowl forever too small..

6)You Spend Time Looking For Other Jobs

If you are spending time looking for other jobs while you are on the clock, it's obvious you want to leave your job. So keep looking for new jobs and as soon as you find a good one, take it and run.

-I guess I'm too tired to look for jobs when I'm home, probably just procrastinating because I'm at my comfort zone again -_-"

7)You Haven't Gotten a Raise in the Last Two Years

If you work hard and benefit the company you work for, you deserve to be rewarded for that. If your boss hasn't given you a raise in the last two years, ask for one. If he or she says no, get out now.

- Technically I got my confirmation raise last year. nothing this year yet.

8)Your Boss Sucks

Sometimes bosses suck.But if your boss sucks all the time and takes advantage of your time, it's time to find a new job.

- Not true, my boss treats me pretty well and preaches teaches quite alot. But sometimes it feels that the place is run by him and not me :(

9)The Company Isn't Doing Well

This sign varies from company to company. You must keep in mind that we are in a recession and if sales are down but the company isn't in jeopardy, this sign may not apply to you. However, if business is down to the point where it looks like the company is going to go under, start looking for a new job NOW!

- Company doing very well, but bonus still so little. Bosses want high profit margin, but at the expense of staff wages ?

10) You are Stressed All the Time

You are supposed to enjoy life, not be stressed out all the time. If you spend most of your days stressed about everything that going on at work, you are not at the right job.

- Most of the time, shit happens one wave at the time. This is inevitable

I scored like 5 out of 10. Which is actually at the passing mark. Is this a sign telling me that I'm nearing the end of my carrer in this company? Perhaps I'm too jaded to think and to move on with my inconducive life.


You think ?
