CibbuanoQuitting a new job
September 7th 2006 00:08
Imagine you’ve just started a new job and low and behold for whatever reason you’ve just realized that it stinks. Actually, it doesn’t just stink, it is completely unbearable. Alternatively, something in your personal life may have suffered an untimely change and your new job just isn’t suitable anymore. You’ve bearly warn in your office chair or new uniform before your serious considering quitting. I happen to be in this position and it is a really horrible position to find yourself in. My problem isn’t the workplace. I actually love my job. Unfortunately, it is located in a ghost town completely lacking in nightlife and after hours entertainment and activities. I’ve been debating and weighing up the pros and cons of quitting my job before I even hit the first performance review.
The benefits of quitting now need little discussion. I’ll can leave and with the benefit of experience apply for a job in a larger city. The slate is wiped clean and I can make a fresh start.
The disadvantages encompass a daunting list. For a start it may impact my new employment options. Having a short stint with a company before quitting looks like a sign of non-committal. Any employer is going to get worried an early short term employment period. Another significant problem is that I’d be quitting a job that I actually enjoy. Finding an enjoyable job is a difficult task at best. Some companies will have a “not eligible for rehire” list. Basically this means that when you quit you won’t be able to be re-employed in the future should you change your mind. Check your employment contract to see if your company has this policy. It is another thing to consider if you are quitting from a company that you may want to work for again in the future.
When a work place gets tough, quitting seems like such a golden opportunity to end the torture. You should really question the merits of quitting before you hand in a resignation. It is all too true that the grass is always greener. Sometimes you need to suck in a bit of the hard yards when you first start in a new job. Be aware of establishing an unhealthy pattern of quitting jobs. After all, if you can quit this job on a whim, what’s stopping you quitting your next job in similar circumstances? No matter where you are working, there are always going to be shitty days, weeks or months. When you’ve settled in, the workplace may not seem anywhere as near as horrible as it once did. A way of checking to see if things may get brighter in the future is to check out your co-workers that have been there for a little longer. Do they seem like they’ve managed to settle in and are enjoying their work or are they simply trudging through to pay the bills.
Now if after weighing up your options, quitting still seems like a good option, it’s time to enact some damage control. Tomorrow I’ll look at how to quit a job you’ve just started.
