How To Get Through All The Bad Days At Work

Often times, there are points in life where you are stuck between a tricky situation and where you don’t know what to do to get out of the fix. When you work at a place for a long time, you are sometimes faced with the want to quit without realising the bigger impacts of what happens when you quit your job. In order to jump to the other side of the hoop and realise why you shouldn’t really quit your job, we have figured out a list of reasons for you!

1. You need a better perspective on your situation

Many a times, when you seem to involved in the that is happening at work, you don’t realise why it’s happening. When this happens, take a step back and understand why things are going wrong. Before you decide to quit, put pen to paper and think about whether you really have put in enough effort into the job. Think about what is not working for you:

• Is it your boss?
• Is it the kind of work you are doing?
• Is it your colleagues?

Talk to someone outside your immediate circle to see what the issue could be and once you have realised the problem, work on how to change the situation for yourself. Immerse yourself in the experience of finding perspective and only when you work through the kinks, can you try to think of what to do next. Don’t quit without finding perspective.

2. You need to fix the broken bridges 

Usually, when you are at the brink of quitting your job, it is because things have either not been working or have gone so wrong, there is no fixing the situation. At times like this, you have fought so much with your colleagues and friends, you think there is nothing you can do or say to fix the situation. However, if it does come to this point, know that quitting isn’t the only solution to the problem. Just because nothing seems to be going the right way at work, quitting shouldn’t be the solution. Fix what you have broken, even if it takes time. In the long run, the relationships you build with people at your workplace are the most important and meaningful ones.

3. You could miss out on some truly great learning opportunities 

If you want to quit your job because of how hard it is, then think again. Sometimes, the toughest situations in life are the ones which help you get the most perspective on your surrounding. When you feel misplaced and out of your comfort zone, the easiest solution seems to be to quit. However, the easiest path is rarely ever the best one. These questions need to be on your checklist:

• Are you more capable of making tough choices this week than the week earlier?
• Do you think you can do better with support and help from your colleagues?
• Are you learning skills which will help you grow not just in your career but in your life as well?

While these may seem like tough questions to answer in the beginning, the quicker you deal with them, the better you can come to terms with why you shouldn’t quit. While the alternative of staying is far harder than you are ready to deal with, the rewards at the end of the day are going to be worth the struggle.

4. Your resilience may lead to your success

Studies show, the more resilient you are, the more you learn and the more you grow from the mistakes you make. Before you take a moment to quit, think about what you are learning from the challenges thrown at you every day. Accept that nothing in life comes easy and that through all the tough things, you have to push through to get to the greener side of things.

5. Life isn’t a race

Sometimes, when things just aren’t going the right way, one needs to realise that nothing about life is a race. It’s important to realise there’s no big finish line you have to get to at a particular time. Move through your goals, realise your plans and narrow down your reasons for doing what you are. Only then will things fall into place.

Work isn’t always meant to be fun and games. It is about making do with the tougher choices and decisions and you realising you learn from the backlashes and pitfalls. However, even after all of this, if your instinct is still telling you to quit, write that letter!
