ALT-1 How to Leave your Dead End Job
Why would anyone want to end your job career with any company? You have spent so many years with the same boss and desk and even co-workers of whom you spent so many late nights laughing at the boss's wife (of course, she never knew the secrets of the closed and locked office doors). Why end it?
Now this is where you must sit down. I'm about to ask you a few questions and please think them honestly in your head.
Where do you want to be a year from now?
How about two or three years from now?
Is this job going to get you there?
If you answered no to the last question, then start looking for a job that will push you in the right direction.
Not easy leaving this career killer job? There are several ways to rid yourself of such foulness. One is a destructive way, but it gets the job down. The other is a civil way and you can keep your head high knowing you won.
The desctructive way is mostly used by the younger version of ourselves. It is fun, but you'll walk away knowing you can't put this job on your resume. You see, as destructive to your career this place maybe is also how destructive you leave. Find out what annoys your boss and do it. If he/she hates tardiness, then so shall you do. If he/she hates food at the desk, then pigout. If he/she hates "Hello Kitty", then decorate accordingly. This will surely send you away quickly and somewhat quietly. Bosses hate insoberdinates. You'll be on your way to a new career and then of the dead-end job is behind you now.
The civil way is for those who knows of being fired, but would rather not cause the boss any harm. To be civil, you must (this is an understatement) find another job that would suit your needs for the next level of your life. Once you are hired, you let your boss down lightly. This way, if you lose your next job, you know you have one to come back to without having all those interviews to deal with. But once again, remember this is a dead-end job. Why come back?
