Four years ago I was stuck in a dead end, high stress job that had me on blood pressure medication and ready to climb to the rooftop and start shooting people. At the time I really believed I didn't have a valid reason for leaving a decent paying job with health benefits. If only I'd had this book back then. I could have saved myself at least a year's worth of misery simply by being able to recognize valid reasons for quitting and understanding how not only make a graceful exit but how to hit the ground running once I walked out the door.T.K. Lee outlines the various reasons for quitting and how to really evaluate them in order to know if it's time to hand in a resignation or if you just need to suck it up and deal. Things like low pay or lack of enjoyment can wear you down to the point you'd rather eat glass and gargle salt water than show up one more day, and if you've reached that point Lee helps you understand your options and how to figure out if you just need a break or if you need a complete change of scenery. And, if a total change is required, how to set goals and put them in motion.If you feel like you're stuck in a career rut and wondering if the grass is greener on the other side of the building complex, this book can really assist you in determining what your next move needs to be. Everything is easy to understand and, if you're ready to take the plunge, simple to put into motion.
