Life is too short to go home every day feeling unfulfilled.
Life is too short to work for a terrible boss. Life is too short to go home every day feeling taken for granted, feeling taken less than seriously, or feeling taken advantage of.
Life is too short to not be as happy as you can be.
1. Your input is disregarded or even not wanted.
Everyone has ideas. And everyone loves when their ideas are taken seriously and implemented. The feeling that you've contributed in a special way is incredibly gratifying.
But when your boss or company shoots down or even laughs at your ideas, it's not only insulting, it's demotivating. And pretty soon you stop caring.
Life's too short not to care.
2. You get criticized publicly.
We all need constructive feedback. We all need a little nudge. We all need to be told when we can do something better and how to do it better but we need to be told those things in private.
Life's too short to walk around waiting for the next time you'll be criticized or humiliated in front of other people.

3. You never hear the word "Thanks" .
Everyone also needs praise. We all need to knit when we can do something well and everyone, even poor performers, do some things well.
Life's too short not to be recognized for the contributions you make.
4. You feel like you have no purpose.
Everyone likes to feel a post of something bigger. Everyone likes to feel he has an impact not just on results but also on the lives of other people.
Life's too short to go home every day feeling like you've worked, but you haven't accomplished anything meaningful.
5. You aren't even mildly excited to go to work.
Every job has its downsides but every job should also have some fun, exciting and challenging moments or some aspect that makes you think, "I'm looking forward to doing that..."
Life's too short to spend only looking forward to quitting time.
6. You can't see a future.
Every job should lead to something: hopefully a promotion, but if not, the opportunity to take on additional responsibilities, learn new things, tackle new challenges. Tomorrow should have the potential to be differentin a good way from today.
A decent boss works to improve the company's future. A good boss works to improve her employees' futures too!
Life's too short to live without hope.
7. You don't think you can do anything else.
That's the best reason of all to quit your job. I know what you're thinking: "I make too much in my current job; I'll never find something comparable." Or, "There just aren't any jobs where I live." Or, "I've put too much time into this company."
Or, "I don't have what it takes to start my own business."
All those things are true, if you let them be true.
You can do something else. You can do lots of something "else."
You just have to believe and trust that your creativity, perseverance, and effort will take you to new, happier and more fulfilling places. Thousands of people start their own businesses ever year. The only difference between you and them? They decided to take the chance. They decide to bet on themselves.
Life's too short to just stay where they are instead of doing everything possible to live a better life.
