Ever dream of quitting your job?
You’re not alone…
Are you miserable at your job?
Maybe you’re one of the 15% who don’t plan to leave your current job soon. But…if you’re on this site…odds are, you’ve at least thought about it.
And you may be one of the folks that are miserable in your job…but you offer excuses like this:
‘But I don’t want to give up the security of my job’.
‘How will I keep benefits if I don’t keep my job?’
‘Only 15 more years, and I can retire and do what I want!’
If you’re miserable in your job, you aren’t the only one that knows this. I’d wager that your boss and your co-workers already know this. You can only fake it so long.
A good friend recently told me that he’d been fired in his last job. It’s not that he was a bad person…or did evil things at work. He wasn’t passionate about it. He didn’t enjoy it. And – it showed.
So how about you? How long can you fake it?
Quit or be fired.
I recommend to quit…to leave on your own terms. But don’t do it without a plan.

I think I know your friend!
I think you are right!!!
in the first round, I faked it for 10 years. They transferred me. Then I faked it for 11 years… then they fired me. Now I am really unhappy and it shows. Probably going to get fired again. I've been working a JOB for 28 years. It's not working well for me. Never did.
quitting sounds great. not possible to do right now. If I were debt free (I am close), if I had $5,000+ in the bank as a cushion (not even close), And I either need a new job to go to OR a plan to be self employed (I have neither).
It's almost Monday again. How I'd love to go in and say “this is not working, goodbye”.
Artiee – I've been in your shoes before as well when we were in a lot of debt. It's hard to make good career choices when you feel shackled with debt (at least it was hard for me!). Hang in there….there is hope. Let us know if we can help you with anything. Thanks for contributing to the discussion here!!
