What to do when you're lost in the workplace: When work is no longer a source of fun

In the shadow of anxiety about losing your job, don't resign rashly. If you encounter difficulties at work, you should actively seek out the source of happiness. After all, the world doesn't tailor an environment for you that is both enjoyable and stress-free.

Equating unhappiness at work with quitting your job is an oversimplification. Job dissatisfaction shouldn't be the only reason you choose to leave.

A really sensible reason to quit your job is that you feel like you can't grow more in your role, you can't get anything of value out of it, and you decide to seek new opportunities.

In fact, there are many benefits to work, such as skill upgrading, experience gain, life experience, and compensation. These are the precious assets that our work has given us.

If you're thinking about quitting your job, the only good reason is that you can't find anything to pursue in your job – whether it's ability, experience, experience, or salary, it's no longer appealing to you. The reason behind this is that you lose the motivation to move forward.

That is, when you find that your inner pursuit cannot be fulfilled by your current job, then it makes sense to quit your job.

Stressful work, long commutes, difficult bosses, or strained relationships between colleagues should not be sufficient reasons to quit. These problems are external challenges that can be overcome, and they do not arise from the disappearance of your inner pursuits.

Resignation due to these external factors is essentially avoiding the problem without actually solving it.

It's like some people don't solve the actual problem of the complaint when they face the complaint from their subordinates, but directly "solve" the person who raised the problem.

It seems to solve the problem, but in fact it is just evading, and it does not really face and solve the problem.

If you find your work extremely unpleasant, you should first find ways to make yourself happy, and then find joy in your work.

Because once you're happy, you won't use quitting your job as a means of escaping unhappiness.

How to make yourself happy?

The question is actually quite simple, everyone knows how to please themselves. It's not hard to do things that make you happy, and you can do it with some time and money.

How can I be happy at work?

Again, it's not that hard. Just connect your work with something that makes you happy and find the intersection between the two. Everything in the intersection can make you feel happy at work.

Then weed out the things that could put your job at risk, and the rest is something that's safe and feasible to make you happy at work.

As for quitting, no matter what the economic environment is or how hard it is to find a job, you should be cautious about the idea of quitting, considering that your career will take a long time to gain valuable experience.

What's more, the decision to resign should be based on not finding a reason to stay in your current job, rather than choosing to flee just because you have a problem that is difficult to solve.

Of course, that doesn't mean you need to put up with more negative emotions than you can afford to keep working. It's human nature to be willful once in a while, "I don't like it" can be the only reason, and "I want to do it" can be the only motivation. Even if you choose to resign naked!

However, capricious choices naturally come with a corresponding cost. As long as you think it's worth it, then don't hesitate.
