Hate your job? In today’s harsh economic environment, it may be more practical to identify the reasons and fix them, than to fly off the handle or let yourself be defeated easily. Here are a few tips… (Source: Times of India)
Tip 4: Reinvent your work
A good way to bring freshness to the same old job is to find new ways to do it better than before. It is this innovative outlook that has resulted in newer and improved versions of products and services in the market. Besides, at a personal level, being creatively involved will keep away the negative thoughts.
Tip 5: Advertise subtly
A good number of people have quit their well-paying jobs simply because they feel their hard work is appreciated. Often, this gives some people reason to blame their boss. But there’s always the possibility that the oversight was not deliberate. Too often, employees keep rather low profiles, and thus remain unnoticed. If you’re feeling overlooked, consider that it may be time to get out of the shadows. There’s no call to brag about yourself; you can handle the situation in a subtle manner. When the opportunity—say, a regular feedback session—presents itself, take it to ensure that your boss is well aware of the efforts you’ve been putting in.
Tip 6: Tackle difficult colleagues
Often, the real reason people lose interest in their job is not the work itself, but the people at work. If there isn’t a single person in your office with whom you can get along professionally, it’s possible that the problem is yours, and not theirs. In today’s corporate scenario, the inability to work in a team is considered a weakness. But assuming the problem is not with you, and a problem colleague really is proving detrimental to your work, consider asking your supervisor to move you to another department, where you can meet new people, although you would also have to be ready to possibly do somewhat different work.
Morale of the story...
Looking for a change within your existing corporate environment maybe easier, if minor irritations are the issue. Giving in to the impulse to quit may seem the easy way out, but life may actually be easier if the problem can be reduced or fixed without giving up the job. Quitting is ONLY for smokers!
