Today I was asked why I stayed at a company that they did not like? The answer was simple, I really really liked my job. You might even say I was a workaholic because I loved my job so much. So what is wrong with loving my job so much and giving so much of time freely to the company?

The answer from me personally was simple – nothing was wrong with this it made me happy to help so many people while doing my job. Now the answer from the Professional me – WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU DOING? Why give your skills and time to a company that is not fully compensating what you do. People are laughing at you for all that you do for the company and do not realize that you are being taken advantage of.

Does this argument sound familiar? If so then yes it is time to reevaluate your work with the company. Is it possible that you are too complacent and the company if moving forward with out you? Maybe the company is becoming less competitive in today’s market and or you are no longer current in your field with the new trends.

Yes their are ways to make ourselves more marketable to our own company and others for that matter, but sometimes the answer is simple…..it is time to look for a change.

For me today I see so many clients who just need someone to talk this through with. Please take the time to discuss your options with your trusted circle of friends and ask for their honesty ….just do not hold it against them if you don’t like the answers.
