If the thought of the upcoming work week makes you panic and sad, it's time to change something. The problem is not with colleagues or with the company. Usually it's about ourselves.
1. Your work is not really useful
Rewarding work is hard work that propels you and others forward. You can sit in the office all day without doing anything of value. And you can bring huge benefits in two hours of productive work.
Not everyone is capable of implementing bold, distinctive ideas. Don't be afraid to go beyond stereotypes. Fear will keep you from climbing the corporate ladder and getting your dream job.
2. You are sitting at home instead of making contacts with other people
Through connections, you can achieve a lot. Establishing and maintaining working contacts takes time and effort.
Don't sit around. Communicate more with people, attend social events, participate in workshops related to your work.
3. You're not working hard enough
In this case, you will not see positive results. And the lack of results leads to career dissatisfaction.
4. You are not very popular
People should be comfortable in your company. They must be willing to work with you. This does not mean that everyone has to like you. But no one likes colleagues who are gloomy and dissatisfied with everyone. Be sociable, open and friendly.
5. You want to get everything at once
If your child fails to take the first steps, you will not scold him and try to stop him. It's the same with a career. Be persistent and patient.
Many take years to build successful careers, but they don't want to admit it.
6. You are not engaged in self-development
Self-development requires constancy. You must engage in the formation and development of good habits and skills every day. More than once a week, month, or year when the mood appears.
Set a small goal for yourself every day that will boost your career. After a while, you will see results and be proud of yourself.
7. You are a perfectionist
Do you stay late at work on Friday to finish your presentation by Monday morning? Perhaps you are too fixated on work and complicating things.
Not everything you work on has to be perfect. Do your job well, but don't be fanatic. Perfectionism kills happiness like drugs that kill the brain.
8. You are indecisive
Perhaps you are thinking things over too carefully and are afraid to decide on something. This behavior slows you down and prevents you from achieving your goals.
It's always interesting to try yourself in something new. This brings variety to life.
9. You have problems in your personal life
Personal life has a big impact on career satisfaction. If you are unhappy at home, then you take out your anger and frustration at work. If a loved one deceives you, then faith in other people disappears.
10. You don't help other people
There is always someone who may need your help. Support new hires, share recommendations and tips.
Don't get hung up on yourself. Helping others makes us happier, and life seems filled with meaning.
11. You are unreliable
Is it possible to entrust you with an official secret? Can you not boast about the level of your salary if this information is forbidden to disclose? Can you avoid telling everyone about a big new deal with a high-profile client?
If people don't trust you, then you suffer from it. After all, it is you who are missing out on a lot of opportunities, because they are afraid to initiate you into them. This way you stay away from the many interesting events that take place in your company.
12. You are afraid to leave your comfort zone
Perhaps this is how you put off important things for later. After all, they require effort and time. You are trusted to give a presentation, but you refuse, fearing public speaking.
All of this leads to frustration and job dissatisfaction. Get over yourself and don't let your fears rule your life.
13. You hesitate to be happy
You are unhappy with your career because you wanted to. Happiness is a state of mind. You may not have your best job right now, but take it as part of an interesting journey.
Don't expect happiness to come to you just like that. We also need to work on this.
