A lot of us get frustrated with our jobs, our bosses, our colleagues, or our workplaces. Sometimes the pressure and stress at work is hard to handle. But how do we know when we just need to take a deep breath or a vacation... or when we need to make a big change Quitting your job when you feel stressed at work isn't a decision you should make haphazardly. It can have a big impact on your life. Here are some typical signs and symptoms that your stress level is so high at work that it may be time for you to say "I quit!" Your Brain is Toast. You can't remember things. You have a hard time concentrating or thinking clearly. The quality of your work has fallen. Or you recognize that you're making poor judgments. You're Emotionally Exhausted. You've lost your sense of humor and are moody. You have a shorttemper and are easily agitated. You feel tense and "on edge". You're constantly unhappy. Your Body is Trying To Tell You Something. You have gained or lost a significant amount of weight. You have frequent headaches, backaches or a stiff neck. You've lost your sex drive. You're sick a lot and the feeling of fatigue never goes away. Your Behavior Has Changed. You're eating more or less. You're sleeping too much or too little. You use cigarettes, drugs or alcohol to relax. You've isolated yourself from friends and family. How do you decide when to take the leap and quit your job to pursue something you really want to do instead If your behavior or mental, physical or emotional health is telling you it's time to quit, it's a good idea to listen.
