2. The Industry is Dying

My good friend and co worker Michelle used to work in the propane industry. Several years back, she started wondering how much longer a career in this field could go on…so she started looking into a job at Qualcomm (just a startup back then). Soon after, she landed the job and got into a hot career all because she recognized a dying industry and left before it was too late.

Like the propane field in Michelle’s story, today we have equivalent industry’s to worry about (newspapers and electronic stores for example.) Sometimes it’s hard to leave an industry you love, but do you go down with the ship or explore what’s on the horizon?

3. You Feel Like a Different Person at Work

Many times a job can put you in uncomfortable positions. When I was in sales, it took incredible energy to be the aggressive, “don’t take no for an answer” kind of person my boss wanted. At home I was always the easy going guy, looking to make things easier for everyone else.

Well that “energy” you spend doing your work in a way that falls outside your natural tendencies leads to stress, burnout, and unhappiness. Sure, everyone will have to do some things outside their comfort zone, but doing this on a daily basis is a recipe for disaster.

4. You Are Taking More Sick Days

Research has shown that unhappy employees take an average of 15 more sick days a year than happy employees.
