need

to get out and get out fast. Hi everyone, I'm Brian from Life After Layoff and today I'm going to talk about some situations where you really need to think about cutting bait and moving on to another employer as a corporate recruiter and HR professional for the past 20 years.

I've seen my fair share of pretty bad situations at work, whether it was some candidates I talked to in interviews and heard some pretty horrible stories or even people I know personally who went through some of these things. There are certain situations where you just need to

leave

your current employer if you're wondering. That question of whether you

should

stay in your current work environment, you are not alone, many people face similar situations and have to make a difficult decision and it really comes down to how much tolerance you have for working in a bad environment. and how that will affect your career now if you need more help with your career search or need a push to get out of the nest, that's what I specialize in.

I have a website called lifeafterlayoff.com that is full of tips and tricks. on how to get recruiters' attention, how to set yourself up for success in the interview process, and ultimately, how to land your dream job. Nothing is more emotionally or even physically exhausting than putting up with a job you absolutely hate, it doesn't just affect you but people. Those around you are affected, so your loved ones, your spouse, people in your family, your circle of friends, everyone is also affected and I think a stable job is a poor excuse to tolerate a work environment. toxic, now that's how it is.

This doesn't mean you

should

abandon every difficult situation you encounter at work and in fact, companies like to see candidates who persevere in the face of adversity, there are now many people who justify staying in positions that are unhealthy for them based on some The level of obligation that they feel toward maybe a boss that gave them their first chance or a

company

that gave them their first chance out of school and we're also ingrained with this feeling that changing jobs is bad, we don't want to have that. In our resume, however, recruiters and hiring managers understand the difference between leaving a job and leaving a bad situation, so you shouldn't feel obligated to stick with something that doesn't resonate with your core values ​​or something that's wrong. causing harm physically or mentally, but that does not exist.

There are some circumstances that absolutely require you to take action to get a new position, no matter how much you need the job, if you find yourself in a work situation that you cannot tolerate, please

leave

a comment below. I would like to know what it is. So let's talk about the five

signs

that you should

quit

your job and move on to greener pastures. The first reason is that if you are suffering emotionally or physically, working in a position where you are affected mentally and physically is a sure sign that you need to get out and you need to get out quickly, whether you are in a position where you are overloaded with overworked, overwhelmed, or just lost, all of these things can lead to health problems, and again, they don't just affect you, they affect you as well.

It affects the people closest to you and I have personally seen cases where people have been so affected that they actually completely changed their behavior, their outlook on life, their physical appearance and then needed to take medication if they Find yourself in a situation where you feel like you really need to see a doctor because of your job, which is a major red flag. No position should put you through so much stress unless, of course, you are a neurosurgeon. In that case, you should probably have some pressure. Are you wondering? If you are overly stressed or overloaded at work, these are some of the symptoms, it could be a loss of appetite, it could be a sudden weight gain, it could be a loss of sleep or sleepless nights, it could be a loss of interest in the hobbies he used to enjoy.

It could be a feeling of anxiety or anxiety maybe you're sleeping in the middle of the night you wake up thinking uh there's that report I didn't send or oh I have an upcoming meeting I'm worried about or I have to talk to my boss about something I'm worried about. It's very uncomfortable or I know I'm going to have a run-in with a certain co-worker. I've even seen physical manifestations where people lose hair and develop hives, all of that. things that make you anxious or it could just be a complete lack of motivation to do your job if you dread showing up every Monday morning because you're worried about what's going to happen at work, that's a sign of course this isn't .

In an exhaustive list, there are many ways it can manifest. The point is that if you are developing physical or mental ailments as a result of your job or career choice, you need to get out and you need to get out of your health quickly. It is too important to stay in a position that is simply not healthy for you, it will affect your time, your money, your career path and the relationships around you, and if it is the career and not necessarily the

company

that is causing you stress, That's an indicator that maybe you need to try something different, let's talk about the second deal breaker: If you have a really terrible boss, anyone who has worked a certain number of years in a professional career will have a boss they absolutely hate at some point, It's just inevitable, and in fact, that's the most common reason I see people leaving their jobs.

Dissatisfaction with working for a bad boss is the number one motivator for making people look for other opportunities. It could be that you performed excellently in a previous situation but moved to a new company. a new boss and suddenly they make you feel like a failure, like nothing you do was good enough for them, you start to question your self-esteem and that can really affect your career path and I have personally seen bosses who have cut back on what they earned. . bonuses from their employees just because they felt like it, they didn't feel like they deserved it.

The same goes for performance feedback. I've seen bosses criticize employees in very public settings before, and unfortunately, there are some people who rise to leadership. positions that have no business being there lack emotional intelligence and demonstrate poor leadership traits in the office a good leader would never berate you in front of your peers or other people in the organization a good leader also provides motivational feedback that helps you improve your performance and not crush your will to live, while a bad leader coached you in front of your colleagues, they give you feedback in such a way that it just makes you want to quit on the spot, they will also dismiss your ideas or demotivate you through criticism.

If you find yourself in any of these types of circumstances, you should think about leaving. The next reason is a toxic work culture. If your company is a win at all costs mentality. That's a sign of a bad or toxic work culture because that mentality usually. It starts at the top and does not bode well for turnover, now it is one thing to have a competitive work environment and be very aggressive in the market, but another thing is to win at all costs, even at the expense of your employees or by doing the right thing. There is something in the market, most companies publish core values ​​and you can usually see core value statements written down and usually prominently displayed somewhere in the office or in your literature. company, maybe even on the website, but if you get into a work environment and core values. they are not being reflected by the leadership team that is a sign that something is not right look around your department look at the other departments there are whispers at the water coolers how people treat each other how colleagues treat each other when you are in meetings people are treated with respect your goals are realistic and achievable is recognition for your achievements now even your colleagues and coworkers can be toxic or contribute to that toxic work environment if you are working with someone who just seems determined to make your life miserable by spreading rumors or even going to your boss behind your back and talking about you, that person is a toxic influence and for whatever reason, these people tend to fall into influential roles, whether they have been there for a long time and have the trust of the boss, but an astute manager would recognize these problems and handle the situation, but if your manager seems unaware or, worse, aligned with them, then it's time to look elsewhere because you will never win in In that situation, it is better to find a position where you are not surrounded by so much toxicity, the next reason is that if the company is doing something illegal, if the company you are working for is breaking the law or, even worse, asking you If you break the law, you must leave

immediately

.

The organization's moral compass has no direction, and secondly, you could be held personally responsible, for either financial turbidity, perhaps some questionable environmental policies, or even violation of some resource laws. Humans, you have to be very careful, so if you see something, the first thing you will see. What you need to do is go to your HR department, inform them or if you have a legal department go there if they still don't react or nothing has been done about it and you still see the same behavior then you just need to cut bait, no job is worth ruining your professional reputation because the last deal breaker on the list is being asked to do something that is simply not safe now, in a world where we go by Osha rules, you would think that most companies They would follow safety protocol, but Unfortunately, there are companies that skirt the boundaries of what is allowed, usually in order to get a job done quickly and make the most money, but safety is non-negotiable if they are asked to do something unsafe or less safe or avoiding osha. guidelines that your company shows they have no commitment to you, so trust your intuition if they ask you to do something that just doesn't seem right, express your concerns to your boss, they should be able to step in and do something about it.

If your boss isn't responding, go to your HR leader and do the same. Any decent leader would stop work

immediately

and address concerns before moving forward, but if the company values ​​the bottom line over your life or well-being? That's all you need to know, it is absolutely worth cutting bait, there is no job worth risking your life or limb, so there you have it, if you find yourself in any of these circumstances, you really need to start thinking about whether or not this is a good option for you again a stable job is not a good excuse to tolerate bad working conditions on the other hand a challenge is something you can overcome if you have any adversity in your job you should be able to overcome some of them You come up with some creative solutions and persevere, companies like that wonder what you've done to solve the problem if you're just bored and feel underutilized, maybe you need to put the onus on yourselves, have you volunteered to lead a process? improvement project in your department, what about developing skills that will improve your career again?

There is a fine line between changing jobs and leaving a bad job, so don't tolerate a position where you've been placed in some of the above scenarios, all for the same reason. To keep a stable job, you own your career and ultimately it's up to you to take the necessary steps to get where you want to go - no one else will do it for you.
