Moment of Clarity
Do you need a new job/ new career? Take this quiz and find out!
Answer yes if any of the following have happened to you in the past month. Points are tallied for each “yes” answer.
- Have you had a meeting with your HR department? (8 points)
- Has any supervisor suggested an “attitude adjustment” or a “work ethic adjustment”? (9 points)
- Do you find yourself praying and/or crying before you go to work? (5 points)
- Do you find yourself praying and/or crying while at work? (5 points)
- Have you called a relative/good friend to give you a pep talk before going to work? (4 points)
- If you are under the age of 55, have you called your financial planner to inquire about withdrawing money from your 401K? (4 points)
- When your trusted relative/good friends reminds you it isn’t wise to leave a job without savings or a Plan B, do you consider quitting anyway since you could not possibly be more miserable? (6 points)
- Have you suffered any physical symptoms (weight gain/loss, insomnia, etc.) as a direct result of worrying about your current employment? (10 points)
- Do you find yourself venting about work incidents as they occur? (2 points)
- Do you find yourself putting less effort into your appearance than you would to go any other place (including running errands)? (4 points)
- Have you planned your legal defense in the event you are involved in a physical altercation at work? (10 points)
- Do loved ones forward you job postings without knowing if you’re actively seeking a new job? (5 points)
- Do you think you’d be as miserable doing your exact job for another company? (10 points)
- Do you use social media to vent about your job? (5 points)
- Do you take “mental health days” solely because you cannot handle the stress of work? (8 points)
- If your boss had to fire one person, would it be you? (9 points for yes, 5 points for “I’m in the top 3″)
- Do you feel you have to keep a record of some sort of in case disagreements with a superior come to a head? (7 points)
If you have scored more than 60 points, RUN, don’t walk, to the nearest exit. At this point, the situation is hopeless. There are only three possible outcomes: you will quit, security and/or the police will be called, you will be fired. You might as well get out now.
