The Counseling Corner by the American Counseling Association

Recognizing When It’s Time For a New Job Many people find their jobs get better, more challenging and more interesting every day. Such people look forward to going to work each morning, and leave at night feeling satisfied at what they’ve accomplished. But many people find themselves in work situations that don’t bring such satisfaction. It’s often not the kind of work, or the job title, but rather work-related stress that’s causing the problem. It’s a condition called job burnout and it’s fairly common. Work leaves you feeling frustrated and stressed out. Your job seems to offer no hope or future, you feel trapped, and most workdays leave you feeling discouraged, fatigued and drained. It’s a condition that affects your entire life, not just your job performance. And because it can cause serious problems, it needs to be recognized and dealt with early. Some signs of job burnout to look for include: - Work activities that once seemed challenging now seem common drudgery. - Co-workers, bosses or the overall company make you feel bitter or easily annoyed. - Your job seems more boring every day. - You care less about doing a good job. - You dread going to work and find Sundays depressing because the next day means work. - You lack energy at work and get easily tired. - Your feelings about work are starting to affect parts of your life, like your marriage and relationships with your children or friends. While recognizing the signs of job burnout is an important step, it still can be hard to deal with the problem. Anything from your age, to your education and work background, to the current state of the economy, can all make even considering new employment very challenging.
