You head to work with absolute dedication everyday. You work with all honesty. You put in extra-hours and the weekends. You are always cued into your office mail inbox. But you are majorly unhappy about work. Basically you are in denial. So here are straight 8 signs that all’s not well in work-heaven. And if you say yes to even 3 of these you need to hit press play on your job hunt.
1. Everything except your blood type is negative.
You wake up dreading work. You cry yourself to sleep after-work. At work you have the droopiest face. Your friends have been asking you why you look so unhappy. No amount of inspirational quotes on Pinterest make you feel better about your life. There’s just no light at the end of the tunnel.
2. You are at the top. But it’s lonely there.
You have completed an important project and are the new shining star of the office. But when everyone backslaps you, you wonder what the fuss is all about. Your idea gets selected at the meeting but you only wish it hadn’t been. You are the hero of your office, but you feel out of place, alone and lonely.
3. You are an engineer. Applying to be a bartender!
If you find yourself reading openings for a secretary, a bartender, an air hostess, a social worker, with interest, reading the role description seriously and even feeling confident that you will be able to handle the role efficiently, then we suggest you really do apply.
4. Friends have turned foes.
Friends at work disperse the minute they see you approaching. Friends avoid taking your calls. Most people have hidden you from their timeline. Because they are tired of the only one thing you seem to excel at these days - crying about your work-life woes.
5. No amount of therapy seems to work
Chocolates, your favorite comedy flick, new clothes, new shoes, mugs of cappuccino, getting your hair coloured, a free weekend, if nothing lifts you up, you need to lift yourself out of that job.
6. Your salary has been credited. So what!
When you get a message saying your salary has been credited, you feel like you’ve been chained.It’s not that you’re not being paid enough, it’s just no matter what you’re paid, you’d still be unsatisfied.
7. Smoke breaks last longer than lunch break
Picking up smokes? Or putting on weight? You’re definitely in the wrong job!
8. You imagine slaying your colleagues while watching KILL BILL.
Never mind throwing darts at pics of your boss, you have secretly plotted the detailed massacre of every co-worker. In that case, you might need a therapist as well as a new job!
Your job hunt starts NOW!
