4 signs that it’s time to move onto a new job

A study conducted by Microsoft found that 41% of workers, worldwide, were considering quitting or changing professions

this year. If you have noticed any of the following red flags in your workplace, it could be a sign to find a new job.

Lack of remote working

Some bosses haven’t fully grasped the benefits of allowing remote work and

want staff to return to the old fashioned 9-to-5, completely overlooking the hard work and results that have been delivered remotely over the past year.

So, with remote and hybrid working styles possibly here to stay, it’s important as a job seeker to be wary of any organization that doesn’t offer these flexible working opportunities, especially if you want to cut down on commute time and expenses.

No flexibility

If you find yourself having to take days off

or ending up in a fight with your boss every time you have a dental appointment, it might be time to update your résumé for a

company and boss who value your time.

Little attention paid to mental health

If you’ve relayed mental health

complaints to your managers in the past 18 months, and they’ve fallen on deaf ears, it’s natural to wonder if your employer has your best interests at heart. Of course, there will be periods of stress in any workplace, but if a company is grinding your mental health into the ground without even bothering to ask how you are, it’s almost guaranteed that there’s a better option out there for you in today’s job market.

No autonomy

If you have little to no autonomy at

work, this suggests a real lack of trust on the part of your employer and should be a major red flag to you. After all, they should be more focused on the results you’re achieving rather than overseeing

every step of how you achieved them.
