For months, rumors have been swirling that Angela Yee and Charlamagne the God may be eyeing new opportunities in preparation to depart popular morning show, “The Breakfast Club.” While we would certainly hate to see the trio part ways, we understand the importance of recognizing when it’s time to move on from a position.

During the Cornavirus pandemic, focus has been on those who are unemployed, but as we all ponder what life will look like on the other side, many have come to the conclusion it’s time for a career change — or at least a company change. Here are ten signs it may be time to start planning your exit.

Your job is making you physically ill

One work environment became so stressful that I was frequently missing work due to health reasons. Every few days, I would break out in terrible hives that left my face looking disfigured and on several occasions, my tongue would swell. While doctors initially suspected allergies as the culprit, it was eventually determined that stress was causing the hives. Ironically, the chronic hives never returned after I turned in my resignation.

You feel overwhelmed with negative emotion on Sunday night

Many working adults who have traditional Monday through Friday schedules may feel a bit of anxiety on Sunday night about the challenges that the upcoming week may hold. However,  if you’re constantly filled with feelings of gloom and despair that prohibit you from enjoying what’s left of your weekend, it might be time to make a move.

There is no room for advancement

Few employees want to remain stagnant. However, there are many companies that, for one reason or another, don’t offer much room for growth or advancement. Additionally, sometimes you’ve advanced as far as you can with a particular organization. In these instances, there’s nothing wrong with pursuing bigger opportunities elsewhere.

Your priorities have shifted

As we age, we evolve. Things that were once important may begin matter less and things you didn’t think would reach the top of your priority list, do. Not every company will meet your personal needs and that’s totally okay. For example, some companies prioritize work-life balance more than others. When you recognize that your job is no longer a good fit for your lifestyle, it’s probably time to move on.

Company culture has changed for the worse

Sometimes company culture shifts for the worse. When the aspects that attracted you to an organization, for example, the family-friendly vibe, have disappeared, it might be time to start looking around for something else.
