A few days ago, I saw a friend in the circle of friends post a message, saying that he had decided to resign. His reasoning is that he feels that his work is meaningless, that he just repeats the same things every day, that he is stressed, and that he has to deal with the same relationships. He wants to do what he loves.
His dynamics have drawn comments from some mutual friends, some supporting him, some opposing him, and some neutral. Among them, there was one comment that stood out to me, which was like this:
As long as the unit doesn't fire you these days, you can go to work hard, do you know the current economic situation? Do you know the current employment environment? Do you think you can get a better job by quitting your job?I think the commenter's point of view may be representative of what many people think, and it may also be representative of the current situation of many people. They believe that quitting their jobs is a risk, and it is better to be stable. So, is that really the case? Do we really have no other choice?
I think the answer is no. We shouldn't be like this, and why? There are several reasons for this: From a personal point of view, work is not the whole of life, but for a better lifeFirst of all, we must understand that work is not the whole of life, but for a better life. Work is a means, not an end. Work is done to meet our basic needs, not to bind our free will. Work is about improving our abilities, not about killing our passions. If our work makes us feel unhappy, endangers our health, and has no room for growth, then there is no need for us to continue, we should let go in time, and we should look for a job that is more suitable for us. From a social point of view, work is the guarantee of life, but it is not the only work in life, it is a choice, not a fate, we cannot deny that work has an important impact on our economic income and social status. Without a job, there is no money, and without money, it is difficult to live in society. Moreover, in the current employment situation, job search is full of competition, and changing jobs does not necessarily lead to finding a better job, so first of all, we should cherish our work. However, we should not ignore that work is not the only thing in our lives, and if our current job does not allow us to show our value, then we can also consider quitting. From the perspective of individuals and society, it is not terrible to resign, but it is terrible not to know the purpose of resignationFinally, we must be clear that resignation is not terrible, but it is terrible not to know the purpose of resignation. Quitting a job is something that needs to be well thought out, and you need to have a clear purpose and be well prepared. What are your goals? What do you want to achieve by quitting your job? What do you want out of quitting? What do you want to do after you quit your job? How do you want to balance your life? Your approach needs to be feasible and effective. Only when you have these specific considerations can you really choose to quit. Summary: Resignation is not a bad thing, nor is it a good thing, but a thing that needs to be cautiousIf you want to resign, you don't listen to what others say, you don't want to be influenced by other people's opinions, you have to listen to your own voice, you have to do it according to your own ideas, you have to decide according to your own situation. As long as you make sure that your current resignation is in your favor, whether it's for work or health, then don't hesitate to trust your choice.
