Please show your support for them by helping them find a new job situation that is a better fit. Likely, they have already tried, tried, and tried again to make the situation work. If a friend or family member comes to you for job advice, don’t tell them, “Don’t Be a Quitter.” This lousy advice adds guilt to an already tough decision to leave an organization. Workers ask themselves why they have contributed so much but received so little from their employers regarding respect, trust, training, salary, promotions, benefits, and other compensation for a job well done. As I’ve researched and collected anecdotal evidence over the past few months, it’s evident that there is also a significant shift in the mindset of many workers. Outdated minimum wage laws and service-industry frustration also contribute to this number. Employers demanding that work from home (WFH) employees now return to the office even though they’ve been working from home just fine is another primary reason for many resignations. There are several reasons for this mass exodus, including overdue attrition that would have naturally happened over the past year, but people clung to job security during the pandemic. We are currently undergoing a “Great Resignation” in the U.S. Originally written by Steve Cook on YourTango.įeatured Photo by Icons8 Team on Unsplash.One of the most dangerous things we as a society can say to someone struggling in their work is, “Don’t Be a Quitter.” Here in the United States, we have a go-go-go mentality where rest is a weakness, and we should all “Just Do It.” But how can we push forward and work through it and keep going when our workplaces are fundamentally broken? Why do we say “grin and bear it” and “keep calm and carry on” instead of pausing to fix the culture, examine the fit, or evaluate our role? So start being a quitter today, and set yourself up for a more fulfilling life. If you stop doing these five things, you’ll find the space and time to focus on the things that matter the most to you in life. This past year, many people realized just how short life can be. Now that we know how precious life is, why not live life to the fullest? Stop putting off doing the things you hope to do someday because now “doesn’t feel like the right time.” There’s no time like the present to start building a life you actually want to live. Your work will still be there for you later, so live your life now. The truth is, short periods of efficient hard work are much more productive than “overdrive” 60-hour work weeks. Years of conditioning have made us believe that hard work means working a lot. Therefore, they have more freedom to make decisions about their lives. Their work complements their personal livres instead of competing with it. The most successful people often work less, make more, and love their lives. You don’t see the amount of work your friends do to maintain their lifestyle, the stress they hide, or the disfunction in their relationships. Instead of obsessively comparing yourself to others, learn to be grateful for what you have.Īlso remember that the highlights others share don’t always represent what happens behind closed doors. Whenever you compare yourself to someone else, you’ll always find someone whose possessions or lifestyle is bigger, better, prettier, or newer than yours. Stop comparing yourself to others.Ĭomparison is a game that you just can’t win. It may sound simple, but it’s the first step to letting go of your debt. Budget so that you know what you can and can’t live without, ad spend accordingly. If you want to be debt-free this year, try to stop borrowing money. They’ll convince themselves that a big purchase is worth going into debt for when that’s usually not the case. However, most of those people will fall deeper into debt in the following year. Stop taking on debt.Īlmost everyone wants to eliminate all of their debt. This measure itself makes them unhappy, so don’t base your success on your financial situation. They measure their success by their earnings and possessions, and consequently, they never have enough. Wealthy people never seem to have enough. Chances are, many people who earn more than you do aren’t happy. You shouldn’t stop budgeting and saving your money, but do stop using it to measure your success. Stop using money to measure how successful you are. Here are five things that you should stop doing in 2021: 1. But sometimes they do! Although many of us use the new year to plan out things we’re going to start doing, now’s also a perfect time to strip away those bad habits.
