How to understand that you need to quit. Should you quit your job? How to understand when it's time to change jobs: advice from psychologists. How to make the right decision

One of my colleagues, now a former colleague, was very fond of repeating the folk wisdom: "It is better to regret what you did than what you did not do."

True, in her case, this position did not play against her goal. Olga is a high-class specialist, but at the same time she is quite hot-tempered and sometimes too impulsive. Once we witnessed a scandal between Olga and the secretary of our leader.

There was such a loud scream in the corridor that the entire office came running to watch the two girls sort things out.

Soon our boss left the office. Olga impulsively argued that she was right and I must say that in fact she was right.
But suddenly, she made a serious mistake. Deciding to take a not neat manipulative step, she shouted out: "Valery Sergeevich, or me, or this idiot!" I will not work with this chicken in the same team!

To which our boss, calmly said: "Quit." The hum stopped, everyone fell silent. Olga, continuing: "Oh, so !?" grabbed a piece of paper and dashed off a statement on on their own... The manager signed the statement as soon as it hit his desk.

When we asked the boss why he didn’t stop Olya, she was right, and she is also a highly qualified specialist. He replied: "I don't like it when they start to threaten me."

Of course, Olga did not want to quit, and then she very much regretted what she had done. Due to an impulsive attack, she lost a good high-paying job, which she loved and in which she invested a lot of energy.

Therefore, the conclusion from this story is the following: the dismissal should be well thought out and the decision should not be made at the moment of momentary impulses.

And now, I will list other situations in which you should not quit.

1. "I'm sick and tired of everything!"
Such depressing moods visit every head, without exception, but this does not mean at all that one should resort to such a decisive step and quit.

Most likely, the best way out of the situation is a vacation, in which you need to really "break away" and be distracted.

I am sure that after the vacation, you will have a lot of brilliant ideas and fresh thoughts about work and how to achieve new success in your career.

2. "My husband earns a lot, now I have no need to hunchback"
First, the husband's situation may well change. Today he is on horseback, tomorrow he may be thrown off his horse, alas, and this often happens. If both spouses work, the family has a more stable economic situation.

Independence and success go to all women without exception. Being a "comfortable" dependent is a position that automatically deprives you of the opportunity to have your own opinion, time and the ability to make decisions. As they say, who pays for everything, then calls the tune.

Secondly, any relationship can fall apart - and in this case, you will have to look for a job in a short time to ensure your existence.
As the saying goes, hope for the best, but be prepared for whatever happens in the situation.

3. "It's difficult for me in this team, they are all kind of quarrelsome"
The ability to communicate with people is an important skill that is essential in any team. Even if there are people clearly opposed to you in the team, learn to deal with these situations constructively.

A “convenient” team will not be created especially for you, the only option is to open your own company, where you yourself will select “suitable” employees.

It's not smart to leave a good job just because you can't overcome your shortcomings.

Yes, yes - start at any conflict situations it is necessary with yourself. By the way, there is an excellent article on this topic (on the topic of conflicts in the team), read about how to get out of difficult situations in your team. I am sure you will cope with this task.

4. "I just have a terrible boss - tyrant"
Unfortunately, the authorities, like the parents, are not chosen (we smile).
And if the point is only that he, in your opinion, is not a professional, stupid or something else there, but otherwise the work suits you, then I advise you to learn to look at your leader only as a leader and not mix unnecessary emotions here and the senses. Observe the chain of command and fulfill your "mission".

5. "I want to devote time to my family"
Life is a short thing, and if you divide it into temporary stages, here I devote time to my husband, here to work, here to children, then, I'm afraid, one life will not be enough for you.
Learn to combine business with pleasure, otherwise you can miss out on many opportunities and remain unfulfilled just because at one time you harbored illusions about the correct allocation of time.

6. "Today I was offered a good place, I probably agree"
Again and again I will say - no rash steps.
Before going where you are promised the best working conditions, make sure that there are no hidden pitfalls, which "recruiters" are silent about in pursuit of new personnel.
Find out everything about the new place and only with all the necessary information make a decision.

7. "I decided to look for a better place, I'm tired of it - no development!"
I'll be brief here. Find first - then go.

In my story, there was one case when a girl quit her job, which she was tired of, could not find a permanent job for 8 years. And this turned out to be a great tragedy for her.

Therefore, going nowhere is a deliberately losing option “At random”.

Of course, all cases are individual. But you need to clearly understand what the organization in which you work now gives you, and how priority requests are satisfied by your work.

Only in the case when the most (most) main aspect, due to which it is worth working in a particular place, is absent - it makes sense to look for a new place. And if you do decide to quit, do it right!

The main thing is to understand and separate the main from the secondary.

"Should I quit my job?" - this question tormented me at one time. For myself, I have identified 15 signs that quitting is still worth it.

I have met people who until retirement worked for their first (and, as it turned out, the only) employer. Well, for me, having changed three permanent jobs only in the first 5 years of work experience, I just have to shrug my shoulders and just take for granted that this is possible. The reasons for changing jobs were different: “not mine”, inadequate salary, lack of career prospects, and so on. The list goes on - several times I had to really "burn myself".

However, a couple of career failures in the anamnesis are also rewarding experiences. For at least two reasons:

  • Now, from the chaotic job description alone, I can determine that you don't even need to respond to itbecause I know exactly what lies behind this abstract list of requirements for an applicant. It saves a lot of time.
  • Now I understand that there is no need to wait for the cancer on the mountain to whistle and everything will work out, the salary will rise, and the boss will become kinder. Need to quit and look new job... As the saying goes, leaving go.

I will make a reservation right away: I do not at any time urge you to quit your job immediately, especially if your financial situation leaves much to be desired. But the appearance of these "symptoms" is a reason to think whether it is time to change something in life.

1. Work does not inspire you

And it doesn't inspire, to put it mildly. I know this feeling: they came to work with enthusiasm, and some time later something went wrong. Working conditions were slightly worse, and the salary was slightly less than promised. But that's half the trouble, because the actual job duties significantly disagreed with the job description for which you applied. The ardor for labor exploits noticeably calmed down.

2. You are under constant stress

It is normal (and sometimes even beneficial) to experience stress and discomfort, but not when stress becomes the norm in your life. I remember my first job with cockroaches in the workplace (seriously, the 21st century in the yard and cockroaches in the room?) And the constant nervous situation, the consequences of an eight-hour stay in which often affected my loved ones.

3. You hate every morning at work

And not because you are an owl by nature, but you have to come to work by 8:00. The reasons are a premonition of negativity, panic and even fear of work. I remember that at some point I even started dreaming about work. And we are not talking about good dreams, but about real nightmares: another crunch, the bosses are not happy with me, and so on and so forth. If you drank a course of vitamins and forced yourself to go to bed on time, and the mornings did not become kinder, then it’s not a vitamin deficiency and chronic lack of sleep, but poor work.

4. Your workload has increased, but your salary has not

Trouble-free employees are not always valued. If you think that by temporarily agreeing to do more work for the same money, you will soon wait for a promotion or a significant increase, alas. I thought so too.

It all started with the voluntary washing of cups for the boss and ended with the list of my responsibilities swelling to indecent proportions. Moreover, the salary remained the same, but the cups that were not washed in time began to cause confusion and in some places even indignation. And in general, as it turned out, my salary initially included washing these same cups, and in general any additional load. Apparently, they just forgot to tell me about it during the probationary period.

Do not be afraid to negotiate the amount of salary and bonuses for additional workload. If you don't assess yourself adequately, others will appreciate you (and most likely, you will not like the price).

5. The employer does not comply with labor laws

As I've learned from experience, voluntarily washing mugs and making tea are, you know, still flowers. The berries were that the bosses aggressively insisted on working on weekends and considered leaving work immediately after the end of the working day bad form and unwillingness to work. It took me a whole year, during which I worked for an average of two hours daily, and sat down to work almost every weekend to understand this.

The same applies to sick leave, vacations and other items of the social package. If your boss expects you to be obligated to work under 40 and must be ready to return from vacation on the next flight because they lost your report, or have no plans to sign (and / or pay) you for vacation at all, run! Do you need it?

6. Your company is sinking

I held my last job stoically for another six months after it became clear that the employer was experiencing serious financial difficulties. This immediately affected the regularity of salary payments. “Well, nothing, everything will be fine soon,” I reassured myself. But no, nothing worked out.

If employees are constantly asked to be patient and get into the situation, although the boss still has money for a housekeeper, a taxi and pizza to the office (in a word, for anything, just not for salaries), leave!

7. Work interferes with the family

Coming back to the topic of overwork, work on weekends, unplanned vacation breaks and continuous negativity at work. If your hectic work life is stealing the time and energy that rightfully belongs to your family, stop and think about what is more important to you in this life. After all, a new smartphone for a child will not replace a close relationship with you.

Having changed my stressful job, I was surprised to find that now I not only can, but also want to communicate with my family in the evenings, and not withdraw into myself after a nervous day.

8. Work affects your health

Occupational diseases are the fate of all working people. Here it is important to monitor your well-being and pay attention to prevention and regular medical examinations. But if your health has deteriorated sharply due to the working conditions or the peculiarities of work, you should not put up with it - it's time to run.

9. You don't like the team

If you don't like working in a team, don't like your colleagues or your boss, this is an important call. Think: you spend more time with colleagues than with your family (unless, of course, you do not take into account sleeping in the same bed for the time spent together). If after talking with them you feel empty, consider changing jobs. Your environment shapes you like water wears away a stone, whether you like it or not.

10. You are disappointed in the employer

Let's say that the salary, terms of reference and the team suit you, but corporate policy in certain issues is a little embarrassing. If you do not trust your company (you know that it conducts dishonest business, deceives customers, promotes immoral values, etc.), and you, as an honest person, do not like it, do not make a deal with your conscience - look for another job.

11. You are bored

If the thought of a job makes you yawn, think: Should you waste your potential on such a useless activity? If a solid salary keeps you in a boring place, and obligations to your family do not allow you to drop everything and get a dream job overnight, try at least to have an interesting and useful hobby or part-time job, otherwise you risk getting bogged down with your head in this swamp.

12. You are not productive

If you understand that your job is getting really bad and that it lowers your self-esteem day in and day out, it’s better to find another position where you will feel at ease.

Another option: your productivity is hindered by the illiterate organization of work on the part of your bosses. But the result is the same - dissatisfaction with oneself and, possibly, criticism.

13. You understand that it is not "your"

If you clearly and clearly realize that this position is burying your talent in the ground, that you are doing a business that you do not like, quit your job. Find a job that suits you - and you won't have to “work” a day, because you will enjoy your job!

If the case is again for financial issue, return to the advice in point 11.

14. You have no career prospects.

The bosses do not listen to your ideas, nip all initiatives in the bud and make it clear that you should not count on moving up the career ladder? Go away! What keeps you there?

15. You are humiliated and insulted

I still don't understand what made me refrain from leaving of my own accord after the first insult I heard from my boss. As a sympathetic person, I “understood and forgave” the humiliating scene for myself and attributed it to family problems, financial difficulties and a bad mood.

When history began to repeat itself regularly, I, fortunately, realized that no personal problems can not justify banal rudeness and disrespect for others.

And if your situation involves a more serious case, such as sexual harassment or psychological abuse, leave immediately. Don't let yourself be turned into a silent victim.

Caution: after reading this text, you may have an irresistible desire to quit your unloved job (by the way, I will tell you how to quit it correctly in the next article of the column).

So, according to various sources, only 10-20% of people are satisfied with their current job. The rest live according to the principle "When I leave work, I try my best not to run."

The text below is about how to know when you need to quit and three reasons why you should. Sure, there are obvious signs why you need to quit your job, but we'll dig a little deeper.

1. You feel the pain of unfulfillment

You know that a person who is not realized feels real pain in the body. I call it "the pain of unfulfillment." Recently my girlfriend Katya wrote to me: “I am so tired of my work that it comes to pain! As if the soul is shrinking and torn out. When I work, I feel pain in the solar plexus area. "

When I am asked the question “How can I understand that I have potential and that I have room to grow?”, I always answer: “If you feel“ pain ”and the feeling that you can do more, then there is room to grow. They don't feel mediocrity. Most people don't think about it at all. "

For example, my friend Masha works as a merchandiser in a large store. She is happy with everything: all day she makes sure that tea and coffee on the shelves are even and pretty. In the evening she hangs out with friends at the bar and everything is fine with her. No worries, no "Oh God, God, how can I fulfill my potential?"


The more a person experiences, torments, reflects, the more power is hidden in him. The stronger your pain, the more power is hidden in you.

So, an extremely simple question:

"Do you feel the force within you that wants to break out?"

2. You don't want to grow in your current profession

When my friend Bulat's daughter was a teenager, she constantly asked: "Dad, what profession should I choose?" And he answered her: “It doesn't matter what profession you choose. What matters is what place you take in it. Each profession has 4 categories of people:

  • Amateurs
  • Professionals
  • Masters
  • Virtuosos

Amateurs are usually 80%. Professionals - 15%. Masters and virtuosos account for only 5%. And we must strive to be included in this 5% ”.

Do you want to become a Virtuoso within your current profession?

It makes sense to stay in your current job only if you answered “Yes”. And not just "Yes", but "Yes!", "Of course!", "Undoubtedly!"

3. You don't see the point in what you are doing

During the study of the questions of what I love, I realized one thing: if a person does not see the point in what he is doing, he dies from the inside.

For example, at the dawn of my career, I worked as a journalist for a news portal. We wrote about the stars. Moreover, they wrote such cheap news like "George Clooney's beloved pig has died." Now I find it funny to remember this, because this is such nonsense!

And I don't understand how you can spend your whole life on this nonsense. It killed me from the inside, because I did not see the point in it.

It is important that your work is meaningful. Specifically for you. If George Clooney's pig makes sense to you, then please.


“Yes, yes, I really love my job,” -

4. Work is not in line with your inner values

It happens that work comes into conflict with inner values. And this is fatal: either for work or for inner values.

For example, my friend Artem worked in oil companywhich pollutes the nature greatly. But at the same time, ecology for Artyom was a very important value and he simply ate himself up from the inside because of this contradiction.

I very often see people suffering from internal conflict. And it kills them.

Do not underestimate the importance of our inner values!

Now about the reasons why you should quit your unloved job.

By doing what you don't like, you "sin".

My friend Marcel once said: “If a person does not realize his full potential, then he is 'sinning'. If you don't give your best in business, then you are depriving someone of a cool product! You deprive people of your knowledge, your talent, your inner light, your professionalism. "

This is an amazing thought. Imagine a brilliant artist or writer dying in you, but at the same time you are working as a lawyer. That is, you are not just working as a lawyer.

First, you're depriving people of some amazing product that you could create: an amazing book, an amazing picture, an amazing movie.

Second, you add in the world plus one unfortunate person.

Ask yourself now: “By doing what I don't like, why am I depriving the world? What product? "

Tim Burton must be upset if he finds out that the director is dying in you -

By doing what you hate, you are doing "prostitution."

If people who have sex for money, and it is called prostitution. It seems to me that people who sell themselves to their unloved work for money are also engaged in prostitution.

Only the first option of prostitutes is even more honest, because they admit that they are simply being sold for money.

At the same time, "second prostitutes" - those who are about unloved work - most often provide low-quality services. Recently, I was prescribed a course of IVs and a nurse in a private clinic, because of unprofessionalism, simply “mocked” my veins: either she put the syringe in the wrong place, or scratched the skin, or simply pierced the vein through.

It was evident that she did not like to do this. I wanted to ask her: “If you do it disgustingly, why are you doing it? Why are you taking away a place from a person who could do it well? "

By doing what you hate, you are wasting your life.

At the end of our lives, most of us will regret the simplest things. And, most likely, the first place will be regret that we have not been able to realize the magnificence of our soul.

There is very little time, friends!

I am sure that we are born to become great and to reveal everything that is in us. That is why it is necessary to quit your unloved job and unloved people.

Although you need to quit correctly, and not thoughtlessly. Especially if you have obligations to other people. How to do it right? We will talk about this in the next article.

By the way, the second part of the book "100 Ways to Change Your Life" will be released in a month. On the book page, you can leave your e-mail to be the first to know about its release.

Question to the psychologist:

Good afternoon, dear psychologists. I have such a situation. I work for a large organization, one where employees are met by acquaintances. She herself got to the position of maternity with the help of my mother's friend, but no one provides protection to me. I have been with the company for two years already, and during this time everything began to strain. The boss treats, finds fault with trifles, can take revenge for going to the hospital with additional nit-picking. Employees from the department weave intrigues, discuss everyone. One of them is sarcastic, the other can openly run over. I am a closed person, an introvert, I have always had problems with adaptation in a team, because I cannot constantly communicate, I cannot think of what to talk about, and I get tired of society quickly. And in such a team, where in fact everyone is against everyone, it is doubly difficult for me. I noticed that I literally began to be afraid of people - I constantly expect some kind of attack, jokes, negativity from them, I am in a state of anxiety, but if such a situation really arises, I will be at a loss and will not know how to react and what to answer so as not to expose myself yet a great laughing stock. Workplace mine is, however, separately - but it is in plain sight, in the noisy corridor - they talk, stomp their heels, slam doors. For so long, any noise has become annoying. Needless to say, the work day begins with stress, I constantly drink a sedative in horse doses, sometimes cry and cannot stop crying. I really want to quit, because I'm not sure that I will endure another year before the maternity leave. But this job brings good money, I'm afraid after the dismissal to be left with nothing. Yes, and I'm afraid that my parents will reproach that I sat on my neck if I do not immediately find another job. And I feel that I will not be able to again find myself in an atmosphere of universal enmity, hostility, when I still need to adapt to new responsibilities and memorize a lot of information. Tell me, please, is it possible to endure, calm down, and how to do it? Or should I quit? Thanks in advance for the advice.

The question is answered by the psychologist Efremova Olga Evgenievna.

Hello Alina.

I got the impression that you feel stumped. Many experiences, doubts, thoughts, anxiety have accumulated. There cannot be a universal answer to what you should do with your work; first you need to understand yourself, your values \u200b\u200band priorities, plans and needs. At this stage, you seem to be in a state of emotional burnout and nervous exhaustion. That is, you have accumulated so many negative experiences associated with your work and team that you no longer feel the strength to cope in yourself, and then the really only way out seems to be to stop these torments and just quit. It is a natural desire of the psyche to protect itself from a source of constant stress.

Why is there such emotional stress? When in a team it is difficult for you to interact with aggressive, uncivilized, frankly, people, and you do not know how to defend yourself from attacks, intrigue, rudeness, then your natural response emotions of indignation, anger, irritation accumulate inside, and a huge power of emotional resources goes to maintaining external calmness and holding this tension. Perhaps it is difficult for you to respond to aggression, since it is important to always look "good" or "correct" in the eyes of others, or it is difficult to interact with older or higher-ranking people, it is difficult to defend your position and the right to be different from others and communicate in his manner, etc. In this direction, it would be nice to understand, learn, then in other teams and contacts so much tension and negative experiences will not accumulate.

As far as I understand, you have been holding these experiences for a very long time. Drinking sedatives is certainly not an option, and they cannot remove the cause of your suffering. The best thing in this situation is to take a break from work, take a vacation, preferably longer, in order to stop the stressful situation for a while. If you do not allow yourself to relax, health problems can be further consequences of chronic stress. Just "calm down", if the situation at work remains the same, you are unlikely to succeed, since your emotions are already over the edge, you cannot push them further and try not to notice. Your feelings and emotions, your inner life and state are your reality, you live in it, it is a part of your personality, and you cannot ignore it, you need to reckon with it and take care of it, since no one except you will do this.

And then figure out the question of the work itself. Quitting nowhere is certainly not the best way out. In addition to the two extreme options that you are still considering - quit or stay, there are others. But first, it is important for you to understand your job requirements - What is important to you in your job? What is it for you? Write down everything that is important to you. Analyze all the benefits that you get at your job and what you want to get from the job in principle, and prioritize. For example - salary, experience, knowledge and skills, development of oneself as a person, communication with people (team and, for example, clients, partners, etc.), prospects for professional growth, self-affirmation, self-realization, status, prestige, additional social package, just work experience etc.

Next, analyze how this work satisfies all your needs. Consider if you can find another job or position that will satisfy all or most of your needs. Believe me, this is possible. The main thing is to know what you really want, set a goal and go towards it.

If, according to you, only your salary keeps you, look at job options where you can get the same pay. Money, like payment for any labor, can be received anywhere. If you wish, you can even find the same job with the same salary, but at least change the company and team. Still, you don't need to dwell on this, if this issue is not acutely in life now. Moreover, you are 24 years old, it is advisable to think for the future and look for a job that will develop you as a person, give you useful and promising experience and skills that will give you the opportunity to develop professionally.

Think who you will be in professionally (with what achievements, knowledge, skills, experience) in 5 or 10 years? Based on this desired image of yourself in the future, set goals for the present, i.e. plan your professional life today. What experience and knowledge do you need to acquire now to achieve this?

What if you stay in this job? Will she move you towards your goals and your desired future? Or will you regret the wasted time? These questions will also help to get rid of many fears (those that you voiced - suddenly I will look for a job for a long time, or the team will be hostile again, or the parents will be unhappy - they are more like horror stories when in fact it is simply scary to change something, to take risks, to make a mistake). But while a person holds on to fears, he cannot act effectively.

Most the best option in your situation, it is to take a vacation in order to put in order the internal state, emotionally calm down. It is advisable to change the environment and get distracted from work and from thoughts about it. And then, without a sharp dismissal, find a more suitable place. During this time, if you have already made a decision within yourself that you will soon leave this work, you will be able to relate more calmly to the people and situations around you.

But most importantly, you must understand for yourself that you can choose any option, make any decision. Internally, you need to allow yourself any option. Directly say this to yourself in your mind - "I allow myself to quit right now if I want to." Or "I can afford to quit right now." Find the wording that works best for you. Talk and listen to your feelings - is it comfortable inside from this decision? And in the same way, say the second option: "I can afford to stay here to work for another year." When you mentally allow yourself to make any choice, you will greatly reduce the stress from the “forced choice”. You will understand that in fact you can make any decision. And you will be surprised - it will become even clearer to you what you really want to take next. Your feeling of being stuck or cornered will go away as soon as you realize that whatever decision you make will be the right one, you simply choose which path will be best for you and which experience is more valuable.

Good luck, success in life and harmony with yourself!

However, when this dilemma arises - in what time frame? I will not give you specific dates and numbers, nevertheless I will tell you one real storythat could happen to anyone.

One fine day, Tanya realized that she could no longer continue to work in the "X" company. Nevertheless, thoughts of the following character were spinning in her head: "Should I quit or not?", "If yes, then what if I can't find a job?", "And if not, how can I motivate myself to continue working?" In general, the old favorite question again appeared to Tanya: "What to do?". Yes, she realized that she could no longer work for company X (according to different reasonsincluding dissatisfaction with the size wages, the same responsibilities, the same problems day after day, bad boss, etc.), but she was afraid to take action to change the situation. This fear is understandable and explainable, since everyone is afraid of the unknown, and people prefer to stay where they know everything and is clear as day. Stability is dear to them and for the sake of it they are ready to endure that which does not suit them only because there is a "black hole" outside this stability. The only thing that people do not understand or do not want to understand is that stability only seems to them. At any moment it can burst like a soap bubble and nothing will remain of it except bewilderment: "What happened?", "Where did everything disappear?"
Tanya thought about her next steps for a couple of days, discussed how to act correctly and what would be best for her: quit or not... Those of you who, like Tanya, were tormented by these thoughts, understand that it is difficult to make a decision to leave work yourself. After all, it often happens how? Until the roasted rooster pecks and the conditions for work become completely unbearable, only then will a person move on to action, and until then he will suffer and suffer. Tanya was aware that if she left the company, she was left without everything: no social benefits, and most importantly, no monthly salary. After leaving her job, she joined the army of the unemployed. Remaining in company X, Tanya found herself one of a million dissatisfied and unhappy employees. Which scale will outweigh?

Many, for sure, when they do not know what to do, make a list of pros and cons. I often recommended that my subordinates fill it out when the motivation to work with them disappeared somewhere ... The task is to make a two-column list, consisting of a positive impact on the employee and a negative one. And if the list of negative points far exceeds the positive ones, then the decision follows by itself: you need to quit. If, however, the list turned out to be almost equal, then you should think it over again before making a decision, and in this case time will help, because it often happens that decisions are made emotionally under the influence of an event, and this is wrong. That is why, after the dismissal, regrets about their actions arise - this indicates a spontaneous decision made under the pressure of external circumstances.
Tanya did the same, and her list of reasons why she does not want to work in this company turned out to be so long that Tanya said to herself: "You can't pull any more, you need to decide."

Getting out of your comfort zone is always difficult and painful. It is incredibly difficult to abandon the usual and established course of things. Quite often, in view of the above, people continue to tolerate a rude boss or unbearable work. However, as Dostoevsky said:

Man is a being who gets used to everything.

It follows from this that a person will be able to adapt and adapt to any circumstances. “So shouldn't I take advantage of this quality inherent in nature?” Tanya wondered. “After leaving the company, I will find a way to get used to the new reality,” she concluded. A few days later, she wrote a letter of resignation and began to make plans for the future.

Deciding to quit is always difficult and you need to determine the reasons why you want to quit. Make such a list, determine for yourself the dominant motivation by which you continue to work in this company and only a few days after the event that prompted you to think about dismissal - make a decision boldly. There is no need to wait and hope that something will change for the better. The adage "measure seven times, cut once" does not apply to this situation. Most likely, an expression that many neglects would be more appropriate here:

Don't put off until tomorrow what you can do today.

Benjamin Franklin

Good luck to you!
