Knowing When to Move On Without Burning Bridges<\/h4>\n

Has the day come when you know you simply can’t keep the job you have<\/a><\/strong>? What do you do to protect your present and your future? As with a love affair on its way out of your life, it\u2019s important to think, plan and act. Keep this in mind\u2014unlike leaving a lover, it\u2019s seldom advisable to leave a job<\/a><\/strong> unless you have something else lined up. Land a new job, then consider these tips for knowing when to walk and how to keep your stellar reputation.<\/p>\n

Figuring Out When to Walk<\/strong><\/p>\n

1. If you drag your butt out of bed each morning and dread the prospect of going to work, it\u2019s probably way past time to move on. Start making plans. You don\u2019t want to make a snap decision that brings your final paycheck before you\u2019re ready to transition into something way cooler.<\/p>\n

2. If your pay is as static as a sock stuck to a sweater, you probably need to try something else. The economy is slow, but people are still being rewarded for work done well.<\/p>\n

3. Move on if you\u2019re going nowhere you want to go\u2014you\u2019re doing the same job you\u2019ve done for years, and everyone else has moved on.<\/p>\n

4. If the most creative thing you\u2019ve done in months has been shaping a paperclip into a clever weather vane, you\u2019re a candidate for scoping out new prospects.<\/p>\n

5. Your boss refers to you as that person over there? Find a new boss.<\/p>\n

6. It\u2019s time to go if you do high-quality, on-time work, and the only person who gets an attaboy or attagirl is your boss.<\/p>\n

Leaving With Graceful Dignity, All Bridges Intact<\/strong><\/p>\n

1. Create an action plan. Figure out what\u2019s wrong with the job, why you\u2019re unsatisfied. As you seek a new position, make sure you don\u2019t slide into the same issues.<\/p>\n

2. Talk with your chain-of-command and determine if there are solutions to be had or it\u2019s hopeless. Never threaten to quit or attempt to extort a raise. Check your attitude at the door and communicate in a professional manner.<\/p>\n

3. Make a plan and look for your new job on your own time, not the company\u2019s time. No exceptions.<\/p>\n

4. Avoid gossip like the plague. Don\u2019t tell everyone at the water cooler that you\u2019ve had enough and you\u2019re getting out.<\/p>\n

5. Give adequate notice. It may be good for the ego to stomp out in high dudgeon, nose in the air and a sneer on your lips, but it may hit you in the backside on your next job, or on some future job. You never know who plays golf with whom, right?<\/p>\n

6. Tidy up loose ends. Finish what you\u2019ve begun, project-wise. Don\u2019t leave chaos at your desk, and never, ever sabotage anything for self-satisfaction.<\/p>\n

If you cover your bases and make sure you\u2019ve left a situation into which your successor can step without getting a migraine, you\u2019ll be thought of as professional and mature. If you cover your own interests and map your future before severing ties with the present job,<\/a><\/strong> you\u2019ll come out OK. You might even find the pot of gold you thought passed you by.<\/p>\n
