Unhappy in your Job?

Are you unhappy in your job and feeling guilty when you know 1000's of people have lost theirs and would do anything to have yours? Are you feeling trapped? You're not alone. Before taking the leap to the next opportunity, you need to figure out what is causing your unhappiness. You don't want to take the leap, then find yourself in a similar situation at the next stop. Before you move on, think about what is holding you back. Identify whether you've lost fulfillment, your misaligned with company values, you're suffering from a toxic workplace, etc. Use your strengths. Your strengths give you momentum. If you're not using them, it may be time to re-evaluate. Spice up your role, whether this means long term or short term. Is it worth a discussion to change up up your responsibilities? Improve your work experience. Consider getting together virtually with colleagues or taking on a new role internally within a group or task force. Don't stop socializing. Start something new. Your very own gig. Wanting more from your career is not something to feel guilty about. You're excellent talent and you deserve to be happy in your career.

So important to do the work while you're in your current, unhappy situation so you can clean that out before moving on. Most likely, you won't get that new great opportunity without this work, because employers can sniff out your unhappiness, anger, resentment, etc.

Great messaging. I was struggling with this very thing a couple months ago. After some soul searching I realized it wasn’t my job I was unhappy about but rather the absence of the socialization it used to bring with travel to customers, and interacting with coworkers and friends. I decided to launch a blog to share ideas and communicate more around the topics I’m most passionate about. Starting this side project has filled the void for me, at least for a while, and until we get through the pandemic. If anyone wants to check it out, www.pineapplecourage.com.

Nice! I am with you 100% Natalie! The absence of socialization has been huge - and it's not like you can walk into a cafe and work. It's really challenging.
