Last November alone, a record 4.5 million Americans resigned from their employment, according to the U.S Bureau of Labor Statistics. All in all, a whopping 38 million workers left their jobs in 2021.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u201cIt\u2019s not just about getting another job or leaving the workforce. It\u2019s about taking control of your work and personal life, and making a big decision \u2013 resigning,\u201d said Professor Anthony Klotz in an interview with CNBC Make It. In May of last year, Professor Klotz first coined the term \u201cGreat Resignation\u201d during an interview with Bloomberg.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">But deciding to leave a job is not always easy. First of all, having a job that pays the bills is crucial, especially in today\u2019s economy. And there may also be other financial considerations, like health insurance benefits and retirement plans. So if you\u2019re planning on joining the Great Resignation, it\u2019s important to make sure you\u2019re mentally (and financially) prepared for this transition, and the best place to start is making sure you know why you want to quit.\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">7 good reasons to leave your job<\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Workplace bullying (aka a toxic work culture)<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Belligerent bosses, rude co-workers, unqualified managers\u2026workplaces can become quite\u00a0<\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.betterhelp.com\/advice\/bullying\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">toxic environments<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0sometimes. A work culture can make even your dream job the stuff of nightmares, and sadly, this is more common than you might think.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Red flags that you may be in a toxic work environment:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u2022 High turnover<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u2022 Lack of work-life balance<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u2022 Cliques and gossip run rampant<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u2022 There\u2019s a pervasive fear of failure (typically because of bullying or harassment)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u2022 Input isn\u2019t welcomed or valued<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u2022 Narcissistic leadership<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u2022 Unfair policies<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u2022 Low morale<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Big life changes approaching<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Major life events like having a baby, going back to school, or moving overseas are all good reasons to quit your job. You don\u2019t need to discuss your private matters with your employer if you\u2019re leaving your job for personal reasons. However, there may be times when discussing your new constraints may be helpful, particularly if you\u2019d like to arrange a work-from-home situation or negotiate flexible working hours.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">You\u2019re woefully underpaid<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Money isn\u2019t everything: but it does pay the bills. If you think that you\u2019re not fairly compensated for the work that you do, it may be time to move on to something else. Evidence shows that being underpaid is the top factor motivating workers to leave their jobs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">But before calling it quits, it may be worth it to try and negotiate a higher salary. To do it, research how much your position is worth based on the current market rate for your industry, and be prepared to sell yourself based on your value and contributions. If you\u2019re thinking of quitting anyway, you won\u2019t have a lot to lose if your employer cannot agree to a salary raise.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">No career advancement opportunities<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">If your place of employment doesn\u2019t offer career advancement opportunities, like training and certification programs, you may start feeling stagnant and unmotivated at some point. If you\u2019re open to keeping your job, you can always share your ideas about career development with your boss. But if they say no, it may be time to look for a new job in a place that is willing to invest in your professional growth.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">You want to change careers<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">It\u2019s never too late to change careers, even if you\u2019re in your 30s, 40s, 50s, or even 60s. Maybe you found a new passion, or perhaps you\u2019ve grown tired of doing the same job for years or decades.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">In any case, it\u2019s important to have a solid transition plan in mind before leaving your current job, since going down a new career path may require you to go back to school or receive additional training. You could also consider doing a couple of small freelancing projects while you\u2019re still employed, if possible, or ask someone in your new industry if you could job shadow for a few weeks.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">You want a different work arrangement<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Before the pandemic, fewer than 6% of the U.S workforce was working remotely. About 25% work exclusively from home, and another 20% occasionally work remotely. But as remote workers are called back into the office, a number of employees are looking to negotiate permanent work from home arrangements.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">If you\u2019re considering leaving your job to seek remote opportunities, be sure to voice your concerns with your employer and HR before quitting. Many companies are now willing to negotiate flexible arrangements that may not require you to commute to the office every day.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Your gut tells you it\u2019s time<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Sometimes \u201cI hate my job\u201d is the only reason you need to quit. One of the smartest things you can do is go with your gut, and if your gut is telling you to quit, listen to it! Just make sure you have a well-thought-out action plan and that you have a clear idea of your next steps. In other words, be sure to do your homework before taking the leap &#8212; but don\u2019t be afraid to prioritize your personal growth and wellbeing when it comes to finding a job that you love.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">To wrap things up<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Whether you want to change careers, make more money, or just find a better opportunity for yourself, leaving your job and embarking on a new professional journey can be very exciting. Remember that pursuing your dreams takes thoughtful deliberation and planning. Or, to put it in another way, be ready to work hard and make sacrifices. However, the satisfaction and independence that goes with following your passion make it all worth it \u2013 especially when it means quitting a job that\u2019s no longer making you happy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the most unexpected outcomes of COVID-19 was the \u201cGreat Resignation:\u201d a sudden wave of people quitting their jobs driven by the hardships of the ongoing pandemic.
