5 Signs You’re Stuck in a Dead End Job
4. Your boss’ behavior has changed
Does your boss behave in a strange way around you lately? Do you hardly get to see him/her? And most of your communications have come down to curt emails compared to face to face conversations before? If you are not designated with a new project or responsibility, if there’s no mention of a long awaited promotion, you are in a dead end job. You may try and shift to a new department, but if that’s not possible, do take a long view and quit when you can with your professional reputation intact.
5. Your skill sets are not tapped
Your job has become a routine that no longer excites you. You have tried to re-invent your job role and you are done suggesting to your manager that you can do more. But it simply doesn’t seem to work with them no matter how smartly you put your case across. If you feel constantly unappreciated for the effort you put, and the manager seems to ignore your carefully thought after suggestion, it is a sure sign you are in a dead end job.
