To wonder what would make you think it’s time to leave your job?

Just that really. What would make you know you needed to leave?

When I stopped caring. I didn’t understand anymore why I was having to do the things I was doing, I stopped believing in the company. The corporate family bullshit I used to love started to be corny and cheesy and I came to realise it was all lies. I was underpaid, under appreciated and taken advantage of on a daily basis.

I was there over 8 years and close colleagues became like family. I watched their children grow up and they watched mine. We were there for each other through redundancies, tupes, job changes, relationship breakups and new relationships. God I’ll miss them.

But I needed a clean break for my own sanity. I left at the beginning of December, took a work break for a few months and start my new job in a completely new industry on Monday.

Disillusionment. I still believe in what we're supposed to be trying to do, I'm just not convinced anymore that senior management is, nor even many of the people we're supposedly trying to help.

Definitely boredom, not so much money
I have left well paid jobs because I was simply bored as hell

I had a baby and was forced out because of it.
It was made utterly impossible to continue my job of 23 years.

I left my job of 12 years on New Years Eve because my manager was an absolute tool and the national company I was working for are greedy, uncaring bastards. I wasn't physically safe and the stress levels were making me a terrible parent.

My new job for a smaller company, very different has been a life changer. Understanding bosses who reward hard work, thorough training and they check on our welfare.
