People's hearts often leap at the news of getting a job, especially college graduates.

But, the
element of that excitement may not last long as they think it is, which is often traced to some
potential work-related problems. These problems may be so serious that some people end up
deciding to quit their job. The truth is, no matter how excited they felt at first, there are some
reasons that induce them to leave their jobs.
One of the common reasons for employees to quit their jobs is undesirable salary. Employees
may be pleased with whatever salary when they are entry-level workers. However, after a
period of time, they may feel underpaid for the value they contribute to their organizations,
leading them to keep an eye out for higher compensated job opportunities. Moreover, as they
are more mature, their pay is not keeping up with their rising cost of living. Concerns about
basic financial wellness, like being able to pay bills or get rid of debt, consequently, weigh on
these low-wage workers.
Another cause for people who switched to new jobs is less prospect of career advancement. It
is undeniable that today's employees are more conscious of their pursuits in career growth,
especially those with greater skills and efforts compared to others. Whether their career ladder
is halted by limited promotion opportunities available or unfair barriers to career progression,
staff working in these companies may suffer from low self-esteem and unappreciation. It is
obvious that no one would remain in an organization where they are being weighed down by
career stagnation. Job hopping seems a reasonable choice for their brighter career future.
Finally, an unhealthy working environment also remains a key driver of employee attrition.
Some employers seem to put more importance on profits rather than their employees’ mental
health. The emphasis on aggressive competition and achievements with little or no attention
to employees’ well-being leaves many employees becoming a workaholic, consequently
causing their offspring to become resentful of their emotional absence. The shortage of
standard workplace amenities and facilities such as break rooms and kitchen rooms is another
contributing factor to the increasing number of workers leaving their job. Working under
these conditions in long term will leave employees with some mental health issues like
overstress and depression.
Whichever the reasons are – a low-pay job, a lack of career development, and unpleasant
working conditions, it is noticeable that the employees’ decision of quitting their job is an
ongoing phenomenon in today’s society. It will be a lot cheaper for employers to keep the
existing staff rather than recruityuu new ones due to the replacement costs of employees.
Perhaps if employers pay more attention to the well-being of employees and make them feel
valued at work, not many employees will end up leaving their jobs.
