11 Signs that says your job is bad for You

 To say you don't fit for that job These Eleven Signs

what's your first instinct when you get home at night

are you ready to dive into your hobbies and side projects or is it that all you have the stamina for is to throw yourself on the couch and eat some comfort food

there are some clear indicators that tell whether you're in that 35 of people worldwide who experience work related stress illnesses

alright with that out of the way let's look at 11 signs your job is bad for you

Number One Sign

number one you're not learning if your job doesn't offer enough stimuli for your personal growth it's time to think about moving on

as human beings we never stop learning either intentionally or by chance our everyday experiences teach us something it's what makes life interesting

if your job is not increasing your knowledge base that's definitely not a good sign

Number Two Sign

number two you're underperforming as a direct consequence of the lack of stimuli we mentioned before you might feel

it's worthless to put too much effort into what you do you basically go on autopilot performing just the bare minimum without really any willingness to do more unfortunately though this is a vicious cycle the less you do the less you feel motivated to do which only ends up with you doing even less

Number Three Sign

number three you feel undervalued many people think that your worth at work is determined by the salary you receive

however these are usually people who are deeply dissatisfied with their jobs and they reduce everything to a mere money matter feeling valued is not just a matter of money

personal appreciation can do more than a pay raise sometimes which brings us to our next point

Number Four Sign

number four you're just doing it for the money franklin roosevelt said happiness is not the mere possession of money

it lies in the joy of achievement in the thrill of creative effort check in with yourself to see what your motivation for doing what you do is

if you're only doing it to pay your rent it's not going to last long

Number Five Sign

number five you don't see a higher purpose some jobs have an immediate impact on people's lives think of doctors

if they do their job well you'll see the results straight away in the patient's health that said every job can do good imagine if we didn't have those workers cleaning the streets or those factories assembling the appliances we use every day they all help us live a better life

if you can't see the good you're doing it might be time for a change

Number Six Sign

number six the whatever attitude okay you see a problem at work you know that if not solved it may cause bigger issues but because of the lack of motivation we mentioned before you're like whatever someone else will take care of that

why does it have to be me but if that sounds like your thoughts the real question you should be asking yourself is why am i even still in this job

Number Seven Sign

number seven immeasurement in his book the truth about employee engagement patrick lunchiony writes without tangible

means of assessing success or failure motivation eventually deteriorates as people see themselves as unable to control their own fate

basically if you don't know if you're winning or losing at work then you're experiencing a measurement talk to your boss to set up an evaluation system that can keep you on track or come up with one yourself

Number Eight Sign

number eight you feel misplaced on the inside okay so we're halfway through our list you've carefully thought over all the points we've mentioned so far and you're doing pretty good yet

when you think about your job there's still that little something within you a feeling as if something deep and important is missing try to go deeper into the core of your values and those of the people you work with dig deep and unearth whatever it is that's unsettling you once you know then you can act

Number Nine Sign

number nine you're not using your strengths daily you don't need us to tell you hey if you're a creative soul stuck in a routine job

this might do more harm than good we totally understand trying different things at the beginning of your career it's also a way of understanding yourself and your strengths better but at some point if you don't put your strengths to good use you'll never be truly happy

Number Ten Sign

number ten you have the sunday blues we mentioned this at the beginning and it's becoming a real mental health issue this is a particular form of anxiety that many people experience

you feel as if monday is hovering over your head despite having rested well during the weekend if that happens occasionally you have nothing to worry about but if it's becoming systematic it's time to take action

Number Eleven Sign

number eleven you're struggling to refill your energy tank when you're doing work that fills you with purpose healthy challenges and growth

it can feel as if you would do this kind of work for free but if that's not the case whatever you do outside of work might not be enough to rebalance the situation you may be feeling like you're constantly running on empty as if you're walking around with a heavy burden on your shoulders this could be a sign that you're working in the wrong place
