In an article published in 2015, Time highlighted the fact it’s time to looking for another job because hiring is way up, because open positions are way up as well and because employees are feeling more confident about quitting.
On the other hand, Forbes claimed 5 reasons why you should always be looking for another job: loyalty doesn’t pay, things can change quickly, it keeps you top of mind, every conversation is worthwhile and it will help clarify what you want and… what you don’t wat.
True, and what about the personal reasons to quit? John Rampton presents 18 very pertinent reasons you should start looking for another job.
1. You’re always bored.
2. You’re constantly left out in the cold.
3. The work doesn’t come naturally.
4. Feeling frustrated over your personal goals.
5. You aren’t being utilized properly.
6. You get the cold shoulder from your boss.
7. You receive poor feedback.
8. The company doesn’t « jibe with your life’s goals and values » (and we can add: people you respect are fired, people are no longer valued)
9. Less work is coming down the pipeline (and also retention and development programs are cut, previous advancement opportunities are blocked)
10. You don’t fit in.
11. You’re not that desperate for a paycheck.
12. You’ve got a horrible boss or he doesn’t understand the business
13. You’re easily overwhelmed.
14. You don’t talk about your job or company.

“Si la musique est la pâture de l’amour,
Jouez encore, donnez-m’en jusqu’à l’excès
En sorte que ma faim gavée languisse et meure.”
“If music be the food of love, play on,
Give me excess of it; that surfeiting,
The appetite may sicken, and so die.”

Video by Matteo Frittelli – Anish Kapoor | Descension for Galleria Continua, 2015
In this interview realised for a recent solo show in Italy, the British artist Anish Kapoor presents his views on what art and artists are. He draws a parallel with a journey « to discover something » which has to provoke a reflection through (maybe unconsciously) philosophical questions, inducing poetry and beyond.
Interestingly, he also makes a distinction between artworks and what those works really are, the same way our own identity cannot be simply resumed in the body we live in.
« If you think of ourselves, our bodies as an object, we occupy ourselves but I know I’m not just this. I think the same is true of all these things that we reflect upon as art. It’s a very special condition but in art there is this possibility of the object being something else. » ― Anish Kapoor
This refers to concepts such as identity, ego and the fundamental question of who we are, as explored by several generations of philosophers and psychologists. I will not initiate a never ending lecture that will cause more confusion than clarification. I will just repeat what the writer Eckhart Tolle wrote in one of his recent works, offering a very contemporary and accessible synthesis of Eastern spiritual teaching and old traditions…
“You can only lose something that you have, but you cannot lose something that you are.” ― Eckhart Tolle, A New Earth: Awakening To Your Life’s Purpose
