I believe we can’t get everything listed here in one job.Nothing is perfect in this world.Although these are important points to consider,switching jobs frequently is also not going to serve any bigger purpose.Finally,it is up to individual preferences.

Yes Bikramjit, you are right. We cannot get everything from a job, but my concern is it is not at all good if you are not getting a single of the things which I mentioned. Ideally you should look a job change then. Also my focus was on the point that quitting the job is even better than quitting your life.
BTW thanks for your visit and comment over here.

Each and every word on this post resonated with me, particularly what you said about appreciation…!

Thanks Anks. I am glad that you liked my blog post. It is very true, appreciation is something for which I too left a job in past. 🙂

Alok, you have mentioned all the valid points , though I am a self employed person but if I ever quit a job that would in only in case I am not getting the job satisfaction that applies to my work as well .

I have noticed that these days firms and organisations are also happy to have their employees quit and take in new employees. It has many advantages like you get new chaps with new enthusiasm (presumably), less pay than senior ones, opportunity to experiment with…

Yes Matheikal sir, you said it right. The companies are seriously looking this way only. But then they don’t know the importance of experience…

I think all of the above is relative, isn’t it. When one is not satified with the job in more points than one be it money, profile or work, its natural. But just turning the tables what if we were the top management? Would it be possible to keep all employees happy? there would be some who would not be and leave. And sometimes quitting is a blessing in disguise as it breaks the comfort zone and opens better avenues.

Thank you Shweta for sharing your valuable comments over here. You said it right that it is not at all possible to keep everyone happy in an organization, but then there are companies which at least try to provide some good things to its employees. It is like if I mentioned 10 points over here then there are companies which must be good enough to not having 5 or 6 out of them, but then 4 or 5 problems or issues are still there for which employees wants to quit them.
Shweta, since I worked at a high level management too, so I know how difficult it is to make employees happy, but then this blog post of mine is for companies or management people who can judge their own companies standard based on these parameters. They can thing about if an employee is happy with them or not.

This post takes me back about 5 years Alok, the time I was deciding to quit my job. And the reasons were, well you have got them all there. Zero appreciation, false care which never seemed to appear real, the work culture which was mechanical, the ethos somehow never seemed to go along with what I wanted to do and what I did.. And finally I did quit and it feels pretty damn neat being outside 🙂

Thanks Vinay. You were fortunate that you are out of that organization now. 🙂

Good articulated info ! We can’t get everything at one place @job but can manage to steer what we want for our long-term goal with the company or short-term goal, plus company who spend money to train interns would def. prefer them as they aren’t getting much benefits like permanent employees do. In competitive world, where everyone is striving harder to get a piece of success, loyalty & job stability are factors for few to continue & Career aspirations , Better Positions for some. Its all the Hierarchical Delegation of Power & Resources that we always look out.

Exit interviews was part of my core job profile. while interviewing I have witnessed many reasons for job quit and I could say yes, all your points are popular ones. The most common trend that I have observed recent days for job switch is compensation. On a frame of reference, A guy stays in a company for lets say 2 years, he earned the experience and stability, he quits the present job with a minimal hike of 20-25 % in a compensation, in a second company he stays for lets say 3 more years and then quit it. Now he returns to his first employer with the new compensation rise. What puzzled me that if he is not satisfied with the first job profile, work environment, senior management, growth, company loyalty then what urged him to join it back. The answer could be if not the best, the first company was better than the second one. In a psychological view If I would explain, all other factors are important for job switch however these are abstract and can felt however money is something which is visible and can notify easily. Somewhere within we know that there is no definition for a perfect job title so as we are ready to compromise to an extent.
Very Well written Alok Sir. Liked the post…… 🙂-
Thank you Proyashi, for your visit and sharing such a nice insightful comment. I am really delighted to see that you liked my blog post.
Honestly I don’t like those guys who leave an organization and then after a few gap once again join them with new packages. Ideally it is the fault of organizations which offer them to join. Though in some cases it might be possible that the employee was of unique value over there and company might have realized about his/her value, once they left, in that case if they asked them to join again then it is not a big concern.
But yes, only to get a better package few people do this, and I seriously don’t like them.

This excellent article will certainly be helpful for those working the private sector, though I have no practical experience of private sector as I am on a class-1 post in govt. sector where people rarely think to quit their job.

Thank you Sampat Kumari jee 🙂 yes it is very much true that employees of govt. sector rarely think about quitting job, but it is seriously becoming a great issue in private sector.

Hey Alok,
Very enjoyable post. I’m not one who belongs to this post. I’m yet to start a job. Though I loved this post. This phase, I believe, is an important phase to many ‘armature’ bloggers who want to be a ‘professional’. So thanks and I hope that a time comes ‘when I’ll decide to quite a job’. 🙂
