Signs it's Time to Quit Your Job

• You function best on days when your brain is completely fried and you can’t think.

• Your supervisor seriously suspects that you’re a spy planted in the company to observe the ED.

• No matter which direction you turn, you see gray cubicle.

• Your first thought in the morning is a GL code.

• The thought of being fired brings an underlying feeling of relief.

• You drink 8 cups of liquid a day. The liquid is coffee.

• You’ve been meaning to update the Assistant Manual. For the last two and a half years.

• It takes you longer to write down what you are doing/have done and communicate it to everyone who needs to know than to actually do it.

• The ten minute run to Jimmy Johns is the best part of your workday.

• Nobody notices when you don’t show up one day.

• However, the next day the director calls you into his office to discuss how irresponsible of you it was to be three minutes late.

• Three meetings with various members of “the team” are required to approve the new kitchen duty schedule.

• You ask the “online specialist” about a simple excel formula. Three days later he and the director are discussing whether it is safe to recruit IT department for help with the formula. You google the formula and get it in ten minutes. The information they are trying to keep confidential from IT is public record.

• You volunteer to become an integral part of a new process. After completion of the process director hosts a lunch to thank everyone involved in the process. He thanks everyone involved in the process by name, except for you. He thanks YOU for arranging the lunch.

• You have an idea and share it with the team. Two months later your supervisor “comes up” with the aforementioned idea. A year later the director “comes up” with it as well. Two years later the department implements the change and calls themselves an “innovator.”

• You are looking for a client e-mail to get them some information. Instead you stumble on their obituary. You laugh and think it’s great that they’re now all set and don’t need the information anymore.
