#LIFE | Knowing When To Quit Your Job 🍵

I have had my fair share of amazing job experiences and just down right HORRIBLE ones. Great jobs allow you to learn and flourish as an individual as you navigate through the working world trying to grasp the ropes on to every detail. On the other hand bad job experiences can be rather traumatizing.... It is daunting as well because it makes you feel burnt out and every minute seems to pass by slowly. That is definitely...not a vibe at all 🤮

On this episode of #lovemyself , I will be covering on knowing your self worth when it comes to your job. Is it time to leave that toxic job of yours? 😗

😵‍💫 Mental & Physical Health Not Of Priority To The Company 😵‍💫

Not feeling well? Don't feel the stress of taking a medical leave just because of your job as how does one stay productive when their physical health isn't paid attention to. I have experienced cases of bosses gaslighting employees after they came back from their medical leave and honestly that is NOT IT 😑

Another factor is working to your bones just for a company until you start realising your mental health is being affected. When you feel cornered with overbearing amount of work which results to you having to burn the midnight oil, do speak up! If OT is the only way to complete everything, ensure that you are being paid for your time. When your personal life is being consumed by work and you are not fairly compensated, that is a sign to leave this job because it is defo not worth your energy 😮‍💨

🥹 When Your Efforts Are Not Recognised/Rewarded 🥹

When you feel as though your boss/company does not give you rightful recognition/benefits for your efforts after several months/years.....RED FLAG!! When your efforts are benefitting the company, you definitely deserve a form of compensation during annual performance reviews. If you do not benefit from making your hardwork helping company benefit, seek better opportunities elsewhere because trust me.....it does not feel good to feel undervalued.

😠 Being Subjected To Threats 😠

Some companies have extremely ridiculous consequences set out for their employees such as salary deducting systems. If your company is one of them....please walk away asap!!!

Definitely learn to speak out when you feel like the threats are unjust. I had experienced this myself and TRUST ME...I was so glad that I stood my ground and left the job 🫡

Of course, you know your mind and body best. If they are telling you no, know when to go onto a job portal to find another job without feeling guilty. Prioritise yourself and not that toxic job babez 🤓👍🏻

Here is a quote that I found on LinkedIn that I truly think speaks volumes:

A water bottle in the supermarket is worth 50 cents. Same bottle in a bar is $2. In a good restaurant or hotel it can be worth up to $3 and at an airport or on a plane, up to $5. The bottle is the same, the brand too. The only thing that changes is the place. Each place gives a different value to the same product. When you feel zero, you're worthless, when everyone around you despises you, change places, don't stay there. 😎
