At one point or the other, you must have felt bored at the
job. The excitement for work seems to have lost somewhere. No matter how
perfect the job is or how great the boss is, you feel discontent and always
think of looking for another option.
But you will be shocked to know that every time it is not
your job that’s the problem; rather, it’s you. Though it is easy to blame the
situations outside for dissatisfaction at the job, but sometimes the problem
lies within you. In such a situation, only an honest introspection can help you
know why you feel unhappy at work and how to make your job interesting.
Once you accept that it’s not your job, it’s you that’s
making you unhappy at work half the problems will be solved. Here are a few
signs to prove that it’s you making things difficult for yourself.
You are too sensitive
Bosses are always there to give their suggestion and correct
your errors. Now switching the job every now and then while calling bosses too
rude is actually your problem, not boss’s. Instead of taking criticism too
personally, you should try changing your mindset.
You don’t interact
with people
Do you always feel that you are always assigned different
tasks from co-workers? This will continue to happen until you directly approach
your boss and discuss the things clearly. Ask your boss why you are always
given A, B and C tasks when other members in the team get X, Y and Z tasks.
Speaking about the problem is better than blaming others and
hampering your work.
You don’t accept
mistakes
No one is perfect in this world. Every one of us makes
mistakes, which we all need to accept. You won’t be able to correct yourself
until you accept your fault. So instead of being defensive, think about solving
the problem. Soon you will find yourself doing great at the job.
You don’t give time
to the things to happen
In an organization
with a different department and a hierarchy for every task, it takes some time
to implement even a simple idea. But you want your unique idea to be
implemented overnight and if it doesn’t happen you feel demotivated at the job.
Instead of feeling bad, you should be happy that at least
your views were given a chance. Think about the organization where employees
don’t even get an opportunity to present their ideas.
No matter what, you should never blame your job for your
unhappiness until you properly analyze the situation. When it comes to career
and growth, you shouldn’t just look at one aspect. Take ownership of things and
find the real reason behind your displeasure at work.
