Boredom: Youve stopped enjoying you're work
and are no longer challenged. Work has become routine and mundane
and nothing motivates you other than your monthly paycheck.
Stunted professional growth: You arent learning
anything new and there is no scope for advancement. Either your
opinions arent taken seriously or are immediately shot down. Plus,
the management isnt investing in keeping the skills of employees
up to date.
Downward spiral: The Company is losing clients and
customers and rumours of bankruptcy are surfacing.
Out of control attrition: New employees come and
go every other month and the company treats it very casually,
making no attempt to conduct exit interviews or introduce
motivation practices to control the high attrition rates. Moreover,
existing employees constantly have to bear the burden of additional
responsibilities till a new hire comes along and learns the
ropes.
Me, myself and
my work?: You lack a sense of
belonging with your company and with the number of people coming
and going you feel that your absence wouldnt make a lot of
difference to the company or your colleagues. Its hard for you to
picture your future with company.
Community discontent: You constantly seek out
disgruntled employees with whom you can vent your frustration about
your company in not so nice terms.
Waiting for the alarm? : You dread Monday mornings
and you literally have to lug yourself out of bed to get to work.
At the office, you find yourself either day dreaming or glancing at
the clock on your computer screen every two minutes waiting for the
day to get over.
Poor work environment/insufficient resources: If
your company hasnt bothered to spruce up the office environment,
be it by updating computer systems, having clean and functional
facilities, good office furniture etc thereby contributing to low
morale amongst employees, you know youve made a bad career move.
According to Careerbuilder.com editor Kate Lorenz, if the company
questions you every time you ask for a new pen, it could be an
indication of financial stress.
Ethics loggerhead: Your personal values and
company ethics arent in sync with one another. You feel you are
compromising your personal integrity or are going against your
values by staying on and working with the company.
[b]Lack of R n R recognition and rewards:[b] Youre efforts are
unappreciated and youre not being appropriately compensated as you
would be elsewhere. You feel under valued and even youre annual
raise is too meager to be considered a raise.
