Signals that You Are Stuck in an Unsuitable Job
Do you feel stuck in an unsuitable job? It is actually quite common, especially among Gen Zers. If you are not in such a situation yourself, then at least you have a friend or person you know who endures the toxic environment at work or has no time for any hobbies and is overworked.
This is mostly because of the need for money; life is getting more expensive and you have to work to live. In other cases, it happens because of the uncertainty inside us, what exactly we want to do in life, what really excites us, and so on.
Here are some signs that you are stuck in the wrong job:
1. You do one and the same thing every day and find it boring.
2. You do not see a way to progress, from position to salary.
3. You are not heard - your suggestions are simply ignored.
4. You do not use the skills you have acquired over the years.
5. You are overworked and your work stresses you mentally, and this also affects your overall health.
6. They do not treat you the way you deserve.
7. Your values diverge from those of the company; the same refers to your views and work process.
8. You feel replaceable and you are anxious that your company will easily replace you if it decides to.
9. Too much work – even out of your working hours.
The signals are many and everywhere. If you are in such a situation, you may take action. One of them is to talk to your boss. Even if you are looking for another job, you should continue to show professionalism in your current one. Set career goals and think about how you can achieve them.
