No person or job is worth your mental health 💙 The hardest thing I’ve had to do was leaving toxic workplaces. But it was the best thing I could’ve done for myself. However, not everyone can leave right away. So here are 4 questions to ask (before you quit): 1/ “𝗔𝗺 𝗜 𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘄𝗶𝗻𝗴, 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗱?” → If the answer is no, it’s a red flag. Remember to exhaust your efforts before calling it quits. → For example: Express to your manager you want to take on stretch projects (articulate what that looks like and why it's important) __ 2/ “𝗜𝘀 𝗺𝘆 𝗲𝗻𝘃𝗶𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗺𝘆 𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘄𝘁𝗵?” → Do you have a great team? → A supportive manager who pushes you? → Is your company tackling exciting and hairy projects? Create a list of non-negotiables (e.g., remote work, autonomy, etc.), so you know exactly what environment you need to thrive in. __ 3/ “𝗗𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝗺𝘆 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗺𝘆 𝘃𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗲𝘀?” → When your values align with work, you feel fulfilled even if the work is hard. → 🚩 A company may say, "We have a work-life balance,” but everyone is a workaholic. Choose a company that lives by its values. __ 4/ “𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁’𝘀 𝗺𝘆 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗻 𝗶𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀𝗻’𝘁 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝗼𝘂𝘁?” → Give yourself a timeline with action items For example: “I’ll stick this out for the next 6 months doing (X and Y). If I see no change, I will start applying to 3-5 jobs on XX/XX.” Don’t allow anyone to shame you for leaving a job just because ‘it looks bad’. It’s okay to leave and put yourself first. Prioritize YOU. __ PS I’m launching a cohort to help you land your next Program Manager role so you can be richer, happier, and thrive on the job. ✅ Apply now https://lnkd.in/eqBd9j7N
