Ace Operations: 5 Warnings Signs it’s Time For a New Job

It's never too late to start a new career, claims Ace Operations. The direct marketing specialists highlight the top five warning signs that signal it's time for a change.

Humans naturally fear and avoid change. Even when an individual is unhappy in their current job, the prospect of having to find something new and then adapt to a new working environment is unappealing. It has been shown by meta-analyses that people will often stay in a job, despite having a negative attitude toward the work and a lack of identity with the company culture. Humans find something comforting in the predictability of life.

In a recent article on Harvard Business Review (7 April 2015) it was reported that of the 313 million members on LinkedIn, 25% are active job seekers, while 60% can be considered as passive jobs seekers (people who are not proactively searching for a new job, but seriously willing to consider other opportunities). The article highlighted the 5 signs that show it's time for a career change. Ace Operations review theses below.

• You are no longer learning new things – the happiest workers are those who are stimulated and constantly learning and overcoming challenges. Creative types are the personalities that require this the most.

• You are underperforming –stagnated workers who could do their job whilst asleep, are probably underperforming. A job that challenges and stimulates the mind will result in a person working at their highest level.

• You feel undervalued – even when workers are happy with their earnings, they will not enjoy work unless they feel appreciated; especially by their managers.

• You are just doing it for the money – staying in an unhappy work environment just for the money is unrewarding and demotivating. Intrinsic rewards influence workers engagement much more than extrinsic rewards.

• You hate your boss – research has shown that 75% of working adults find that the most stressful part of their job is their immediate supervisor or direct line manager. Companies need to be better at selecting and developing leaders.
