stress is always part of our job, if it is stress related to our colleagues, stress related to our tasks, boss, or even travel time to get to work... but most of the time we are able to neglect these because we enjoy the work, we are on the right career path and so on... if it was you... what will make you say you have had enough and it is time for you to move on and find a better (hopefully) more significant job?

I realize it yesterday, I do multi tasking in my present job. Can you imagine I am a petite girl but I do carry blueprints about 240 sheets and deliver it to client by commuting? Yesterday when I deliver the blueprints, the client ask me if we have any other liason officer to do the job, cause I always deliver or pick ups plans and documents to them. I said no, I am near the client's office that's why I always ask for an errand there, but maybe even if I am far, I will do the same. The client said that my boss is so thrifty to not hire a liason or delivery man and that's the time I realize for the nth time that I am being abused on my job. So I said to my self I really need to find a new job, I must find a new job with a good compensation and an specific job to take care of. I was unpaid actually, that was sad.

I left my two previous jobs before. First time I left because I felt unappreciated, like they didn't seem to understand how much I have done for the company and it really made me unhappy, so I left. And the last time I left my work was because I moved to another country and there were no chance I can work for the company anymore. On both my jobs I was under so much pressure and stress, and there were time I wanted to run away, but there were a lot of positive things as well. So, I guess you need to try to stay calm and think positive thoughts, think about all the good this job has and provides you with.

I think when it seems like there is not promotions, salary raises or things to learn. I would still stay at the job at the time being while I am looking for another job that has better offer.

I think you should start looking once there's no more challenge in your job

the best thing is until you are happy with your job. Until you are comfortable with your job and until you are contented with your job, don't leave it. But if it is vice versa, leave it ASAP and find another job. That if, God guides you to the path of having another job, if not. Then your job now is really planned for you. Hehe

When I no longer am happy with the work I do. I cannot deny that money is the primary reason why I work. I need it to feed my family. But work satisfaction comes in second. And if I'm no longer satisfied, I move on and look for another job or another means of earning money.

There can be a lot of reasons for me to leave a job, it maybe salary, or the people, or the work itself. Currently, I love my job, I love my teammates.. my only problem is my current compensation cause it's quite small. And yeah, I am now actively trying to find a another job, hopefully it's going to be almost the same as what I do know, just with higher pay. Hehe.

Hi Chiyosan, I always believed and was into the jobs, I was passionate about. But that doesnt mean I didnt change them, I did change many times. To me, I must have the liberty or freedom to do the work the way I want to. I have been a teacher and now a programmer and to delver the best in me, I need freedom to do it my way. That is one of the main factors. Apart from that, the harmonious and friendliness relationship between colleagues is important to me too.

For me, it's time to move on when I feel I'm no longer evolving - either on a personal or on a professional level. Once a boring routine settles in, the stress levels only increase and the quality of my work decreases, so it's time to look for a new challenge. People who work in the human resources area recommend changing positions on average once every two years - this looks good on a resume, and shows you're stable enough on the job, but also interested in new developments. Shifting to a new position does not mean, of course, leaving the company after two years - one can always get a different position within the same company.

I would say that it's enough and time for me to venture into another job when I have given my all and I wasn't reciprocated with what's due for me. After all, I wont find myself indispensable because I for one can move on even without the current work. I'll just stand firm and believe in myself that "I might just be the right person in the wrong place," thus continuing to find meaning as to my niche in this naive world.
