If you’re no longer happy with your job, would you find a new one? It’s a tough question. More so if you’ve been used to doing the work you do, the compensation package and the other perks that go with it. It’s a sad fact that it’s hard to get a job these days. If you’re stuck in a job that no longer brings out the best in you, inspires you or gives you a sense of fulfillment, would you decide to give it up and look for another one?
There are many reasons why people become unhappy with their jobs. It could be the harsh working conditions, the bosses, the people you work with or the complexity of the job itself. But there are also an equal number of reasons why people have to hold on to their jobs. Arriving at a decision, therefore, is equally hard and requires an intensive assessment of the pro’s and con’s.
A friend of mine wants to change jobs. After looking into her situation, I told her to pray that everything gets back to normal, just like before, so she won’t have to find a new job anymore. Personally, I find her job quite stable and secure that leaving it could mean a great loss for her. But still, it’s not my job, it’s hers. She’s the only one who can decide on the matter.
