These are the top ten reasons why you might want to quit your current job. These are difficult, if not impossible, work problems to solve. You need to look out for your best interests. Your job consumes too many hours of too many days of your life for you to stay where you are if you’re miserable. No excuses, now. If these problems exist in your current job, make a plan, and quit your job.

—-> true. true. true. my job consumes too many hours of too many days of my life. i wakes up at 1145am-12nn, take a bath and dress up. company bus picks us up at 1245pm. reaches the office at 130pm. shift starts at 2pm and ends at 12mn but our manager lets us log out at 1215am. post shift meetings til 1230-1245am. company bus leaves at 1am. home at 145am. eat dinner. wash dishes (official dishwasher!!!). relax. sleeps at 3-4am. 8hrs of sleep. not enough after a 10hr shift with only 1hr break. sat-wed routine. thurs-fri (dubai weekend) —- sleep, sleep, sleep. hey, GET A LIFE!!!

1. Your company is experiencing a downward spiral, losing customers, losing money, and rumors of possible closure, bankruptcy and failure prevail.
—-> yeah they are losing customers. so they are losing money as well. and yes, "rumors" of possible closure… because D.I.C. won’t renew their business license.

2. Your relationship with your manager is damaged beyond repair. You have sought help to mend the relationship but you know it is too damaged for recovery. (Perhaps you were untrustworthy, missed work on too many days, or the manager acts like an untrustworthy jerk.) Whatever the reason, the relationship is irrecoverably damaged.
—-> of course i’m not untrustworthy. but i missed work on too many days… just because i dont wanna see their (read: management) evil faces. and yes, the manager acts like an untrustworthy jerk. oh wait… no, he doesnt act like an untrustworthy jerk… he IS really an untrusthworthy jerk.

3. Your life situation has changed. Perhaps you have married or had a baby, and the salary and benefits no longer support your life needs. You need to move on to better opportunities to support your family.
—-> i’m single. my salary cannot support my life needs. and we dont have benefits. i need to move on to better opportunities, yes!

4. Your values are at odds with the corporate culture. Perhaps your company is egalitarian and you believe in assigned parking spots for salaried employees. Your company does annual employee satisfaction surveys and you think these are a waste of time. Your company is hierarchical and you want to influence every aspect of your job. No matter where the clash is occurring, a lack of congruence with the corporate culture will destroy your attitude at work.
—-> management has no values. they dont know the words "professionalism" and "work ethics". annual employee satisfaction surveys? they dont want one because they know that they will fail because they suck.

5. You’ve stopped having fun and enjoying your job. No matter what changed, when you dread going to work in the morning, it’s time to quit your job.
—-> 100% correct!!!

6. Your company is ethically challenged. Perhaps the managers lie to customers about the quality of the products or the day on which the product will ship. You become aware that the company is stealing information from competitors. Whatever the issue, don’t stay in an organization where your ethics are out of sync.
—-> 100% correct again. "managers lie to the customers about the quality of the products AND the day on which the product will ship." and many more….

7. For whatever reason, you have behaved in ways that are considered improper at work. You’ve missed too many days of work, slacked off on the job, failed to maintain needed skills, and / or just generally developed the reputation of a loser. That reputation, once earned, is unlikely to change; you might as well quit your job, while you have the opportunity.
—->  i just missed too many days of work… but when i was present, i was hitting my quota… because i need to… the manager was always listening to our calls.

8. You’ve burned your bridges with your coworkers. Your group is not getting along in an environment that requires people to work together well. Again, at some point, the reasons don’t matter; start fresh in a new job and resolve to not let this situation happen again.

—-> not true. we were all united… esp during the "strike protest"…

9. Your stress level is so high at work that it is affecting your physical or mental health and your relationships with your friends and family. Watch for the signs of burnout and if they can’t be cured, move on. Read this article, Tips for Managing Stress and Change at Work for ideas about managing work stress.

—-> TRUE!!! super stressed out. having migraines til now.

10. And the top ten reason to quit your job? You are unchallenged, need more responsibility, and seek opportunities that just don’t exist for you in your current organization. You’ve explored the current and potential options, and they are limited. It’s time to quit your job.

—-> yes yes yes!!!
