If you don’t notice that you’re experiencing burnout at work, then ask yourself if you constantly need to find an escape after work. Be it alcohol, video games, or even watching TV till your mind goes numb, it could be a sign that you need to quit!

When you find yourself dreading going to work or feeling super stressed out before a shift, you should reevaluate your job. If you don’t want to be there, then why should you be there? Money is never a good enough reason. There are always better opportunities!

6. You’re Hiding Yourself

Hiding who you are takes a toll on your mental health. So if your job requires you to change who you are in order to fit in, be inspired by The Devil Wears Prada and walk away from the job!

7. There Aren’t Opportunities For Growth

When you’re at a company, there should always be room for improvement and for you to work your way up. But it’s easy to get lost on the road to the top and find yourself stuck. If you can’t grow, then you need to find another company where you can grow!

8. You Have No Work-Life Balance

If you find yourself sacrificing your personal time for the company, then it isn’t worth it! You shouldn’t have to lose out on precious moments in life just for a paycheck!

9. You’re Feeling Unfulfilled

Sometimes the work you’re doing doesn’t utilize your skills, and that can leave you unfulfilled. Your place of work should be a space where you can reach your full potential.

10. You’re Overwhelmed

If you’re feeling overwhelmed by the work or find yourself stressed out more often than not, then it should be your sign to leave. Your workplace should be a space you enjoy, a place for you to grow and reach your full potential.

If quitting isn’t an option, at least line up new job opportunities at places where you’d feel better appreciated! Remember that you shouldn’t be anywhere you‘re not valued and appreciated!
