I recommend this quick read:\u00a05 Signs it’s Time to Quit Your Job<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Not a bad list. The quick version is to worry over<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. a no-win environment<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. no desire to think about work<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. feeling unsafe to express yourself<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. frequent Sunday night blues<\/span><\/li>\n
  5. no more laughing at work<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    As Sallie Krawcheck mentions, your signs could be different.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    4. What parts of your job do you look forward to?<\/li>\n
    5. When was the last time work was particularly fun or rewarding for you?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      As a manager, I hope I can talk about these things with my directs.<\/span><\/p>\n

      No worries. Just talk. \u00a0I want my directs\u00a0to be happy. Life’s too short to hate your job.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
