Just Quit It

There are a few precious people in this world who actually go to work enthusiastically. In many cases, people go to work much in the same way as used to go to school: they know they have to go and yet, they lack the enthusiasm. Job satisfaction is a state of mind which very few enjoy, due to rampant underemployment and snooty bosses/supervisors. It is no wonder, then, that at some point or another, people do think seriously about whether or not they are in the right profession, and whether or not it is better to just quit.

If you are one of those who are seriously thinking about quitting your job, then I-Resign might be just the web spot to check out. This is one place which can help you decide whether or not to stick around and brave your current job — provided you read through the entire content carefully.

The website is neatly categorised into sections, and whichever you feel like browsing first entirely depends on your current state of mind. If, at the time of browsing this website, you are only thinking about quitting, then you will find the related section quite relevant and interesting. Here, there are some enlightening articles which delve in some probing and pertinent questions.

For instance, are you thinking about quitting simply because you are bored at work? Can your issues with your current job be solved if you take a leave of absence and go on a vacation to rejuvenate yourself? On the other hand, it may be that you do not want to work under someone, and a business of your own would make better use of your skills. This section is intended to apprise you of all the pros and cons of quitting your job in general, and might just give you a nudge in the right direction.

If, however, you have already decided that you will not stick to your current job, then the ‘Resigning’ section will cater to you effectively. This section aims to help you resign with style. You can find out all you need to know about informing the management about your decision, writing a professional resignation letter and ensuring that you get a good reference. You can also use this section to calculate how much pay you should receive from your employers at the time of quitting. You can also find out how to erase your personal data from your work computer. On a lighter note, you might want to read some spoof resignation letters featured here.

Assuming, on an optimistic note, that all goes well for you and you land in another (and better) job, the section ‘in work’ will be most helpful. This section has details on employment contract, surviving the first week in a new place, handling workplace stress and dealing with the boss. There is a series of articles on how to handle meetings with clients which you can peruse. Also, this section cautions employees about their use of work computers and the different techniques the Big Brother uses in order to keep an eye on them.

At the end of the day, however, you will find out that conditions in most of the jobs are exactly the same: there are more-or-less similar issues in each of them. The only thing that you can change is your attitude towars your workplace in order to make it more worthwhile. Of course, there are times when quitting the job is the best option that you have — the key is to ensure that it does not become the only option, especially when you have just joined a new organisation.
