According to a recent survey commissioned by the talent management company Plateau, the top five reasons employees consider leaving their jobs are salary (57%), needing a change (31%), career and advancement opportunities (29%), change of profession (22%) and concerns for the employer’s future (18%).
In a blog on forbes.com, Jenna Goudreau offers the top 10 signs it’s time to leave your job. Here they are:
- You’re no longer valued. If you’re not getting the recognition you deserve, it’s time to reevaluate.
- The job is literally making you ill. Developing chronic back problems, headaches, stomach pains or sleep issues may all signal a problem job. Equally telling are weekends spent dreading going into work.
- You have a drop in productivity or too much downtime.
- You are no longer learning new skills.
- You are passed over for a promotion, again. The clearest red flag is when a subordinate is promoted over you.
- You or your budget have been reassigned.
- Your accomplishments go unrecognized.
- There’s no raise in sight — has the value of your contribution outgrown your compensation?
- You can’t even fake interest in the work.
- The company is contracting — look for signs that the company is in trouble.
