Why It Might Be Better to Quit Your Job
Have you ever thought about just walking out of your job? I mean leaving the building and never returning? If you have, you’re not alone. Workers across the country are saying that one of their major regrets is not leaving their jobs sooner. If you’re fighting work-life balance and happiness, here is why it might be better to quit your job.
Happiness Factor:
I’m of the belief that you shouldn’t hate what you do for work, nor should you have to survive a toxic workplace environment. Studies have shown that when employees are happy at work, they are more engaged, and they contribute more to the company as a whole.
Happiness has an effect on productivity, and it’s no surprise that happier employees work harder. When I worked at a grocery store as a teen, I loved working with my co-workers and although we laughed a bunch, the work was always done on time, and it made us more productive as a team. If you’re not feeling happy or productive, it might be better to quit your job.
The Salary Factor:
Of course, we want to get paid to feed ourselves and take that occasional trip to the beach once a year. So, what happens when you don’t get that promotion you’ve been working for, or that raise you were promised never comes through?
Here is a study done by the Harvard Business Review.
