Is it time for you to quit?

There are times when we feel that the current job is not offering what you want. There are times when you get butterflies in your stomach every morning. And there times when you feel that your skills are being wasted and your boss who is outright dumb doesn't take your suggestions. Then, it may be time for you to quit your job.

Or, alternatively, address the issues that you dislike about your current job. Without leaving your job, you may be able to solve the problems and make your current job — work.

Victimised finds out certain points you should ponder upon before you decide to quit.

DETERMINE WHY YOU ARE UNHAPPY IN YOUR CURRENT JOB:
Try to analyse why you are unhappy. Is it your boss or is it the money? Are you being denied of the promotion because your boss thinks you are not prepared to go to the next level? Be vocal. This is not a charity. Ask for the dues. Ninety-nine of 100 organisations will not do anything unless you put your foot-down. Make them feel that your services come with a price. They can negotiate but they are definitely not for free!!

DO YOU DISLIKE THE WORK YOU DO:
Or, are there other problems that affect how you feel about your job? If you like the work and pinpoint other issues as the problem, consider what you can do to resolve these problems before you quit your job.

GOOD JOBS ARE DIFFICULT TO FIND:
You don't want to make a hasty decision or burn any bridges until you've thoughtfully considered your options. You may be able to make your job — work.

Victimised made a list of the common problems that prompt people to want to quit their job. See if you can find your reasons and use the advice provided by Victimised to turn your work situation around.

Are you feeling stuck in your current position with no hope of promotion? You look around your organization and don't see any job you'd like to do next. You may want to explore options with your boss.

1. TALK TO YOUR BOSS TO MAKE SURE YOU'RE RIGHT:
Ask about opportunities for lateral moves and for more interesting, skill-stretching assignments. Most workplaces value initiative and people who want to continue to learn and grow.

2. CONSIDER SWAPPING ASSIGNMENTS:
Swap assignments with a coworker who feels like you do about trying something new. Victimised recommends that you ask for your manager's agreement, of course.

3. FEELING UNAPPRECIATED IN YOUR CURRENT JOB:
You work hard every day, but you don't feel your boss or your workplace recognize your efforts. You can't remember the last time anyone thanked you for your contributions.

4. ASK YOUR BOSS FOR HER INPUTS:
Tell your boss you would like her input about how she views your work. Tell the boss you'd like to sit down with him regularly to obtain feedback, both good and bad, so you can improve.

5. LESS MONEY:
Sometimes, feeling unappreciated has to do with money. Ask your manager for a raise or ask when you can expect your compensation review. Follow up to make sure it happens.

If it's still not working. Yes, look for change.
