New Job
According to Jake Gibbs of Legacy Frontiers, (www.legacyfrontiers.com) people
tend to be unhappy in their job when they are not engaged. There are two
questions to ask yourself if you feel disengaged:
1) Are you rusted out?
2) Are you burned out?
These are two leading causes to disengagement and ultimately decrease
satisfaction on the job.
As a rule of thumb, unless the situation is unhealthy, you may want to try to
leverage your investment in your current job. Many companies support career
webbing or career development within the company. This can also be a great
opportunity to rediscover your talents and shoot for that raise you have been
looking for.
