1 - The company is going down the drain. For whatever reason, whether marketing or operational or something to do with corporate governance, the company is incurring losses that it can not recoup soon enough. You plan your exit even before the ship begins to flounder.
2 - The company’s culture is beyond you. You may be development oriented and would rather work in a service-focused organization but your company is more focused on the bottom line actual profits. You cannot live on money alone and decide to leave.
3 - Values run amok in the company. Where you value customer service and truth in advertising, your organization would rather cut a few edges and inject new meanings in between the lines to deceive customers. You decide to bail out before you start crying wolf.
4 - The boss has his eyes, the more critical ones, only on you and your relationship is tarnished. Beyond tutoring and performance evaluations, you clash at the slightest provocation. You think for now that it is better to lose the battle than risk the war.
5 - Life is full of challenges and yours has its share of them, mostly financial. The company is not open to across the board salary increases or to regular performance-based incentives. You imagine you can do better doing a door-to-door personal selling stuff and bolt out the door.
6 - You missed out reading the employees handbook and failed to adhere to a few, if not a lot of policies and procedures. The code of discipline is too much for you and you therefore look elsewhere for employment.
7 - Co-employees are supposed to be team-mates. However, every time there is a department affair or a special project, you feel left out. Either they think you’re not a team player or you think they do not want you in on the team. Find another team? Yes.
8 - The stress is going into burn-out levels and you begin having nightmares about overtime work or weekend assignments. You cannot handle the constant pressure, the overburdening targets, the insinuating boss. There are a hundred and one ways of losing all that stress and you think leaving a job is the first way. You run.
9 - You’re no longer excited about your work. For whatever reason, no more challenges are posed, no more exciting stories to tell, no more goals to achieve. There’s not much adrenalin flowing so you try and find a more active situation. You transfer to the nearest competitor.
If any of the foregoing had been on your mind or conscience lately, chances are you are in that stage of leaving a job. Immediate or not, your decision must now be backed up by a solid plan on leaving a job but not staying out of a job completely.
