Don’t Like Your Job? Change It

(Without Quitting)
Sometimes you know your job just isn’t right for you. Maybe you’re in the wrong field, don’t
enjoy the work, feel surrounded by untrustworthy coworkers, or have an incompetent boss.
Most people would tell you to find something that’s a better fit. But that may not be possible.
There are many reasons you may not be able to leave: a tough economy, family
commitments, or limited opportunities in your field. So what do you do when you’re stuck in
the wrong job?

What the Experts Say

According to Gretchen Spreitzer, professor of management and organizations at University of
Michigan’s Ross School of Business […],” people are highly dissatisfied when their job has no
meaning or purpose to them, provides little opportunity to learn, or leaves them depleted at
the end of the work day.

Whatever the reason you are unhappy, you don’t have to just live with it or quit. In fact, even
if you are able to find another job, staying put may be the best option. “Job searching and
changing jobs is not a trivial matter. It is often costly to career momentum and earnings as
much as it is a boon,” says Amy Wrzesniewski, an associate professor of organizational
behavior at the Yale School of Management […]. ”The good news is that there is usually more
leeway to alter your job than you think. “There are often real areas for movement and change
that people tend not to recognize,” she says. Here’s how to make the most of an imperfect job
situation.

Look at yourself
Whether or not you are satisfied with your job often has to do with your disposition, says Sigal
Barsade, Professor of Management at The Wharton School. Some people are naturally inclined to be
unhappy, while others have a brighter take on life. Before you declare your job a bad fit, take a look at
yourself. Barsade says it’s worth asking: Are you just the kind of person who tends to be dissatisfied?
This understanding may not make you like your job better, but may make you think twice before you
look for a new position.
