So this week has been extremely interesting to me in that I did not have the next book for our book reports that was due so I started reading The Dip as I had received it the week before in the mail. The ironic thing was that recently I have been going through a dip of my own in my current job.
As I have alluded to before about the current struggles with my job in that I am not sure how much longer I will have a job or the stability of the job that I do have. I love what I do but there has not been a lot of stability in the last few months with a lot of uncertainty. I have wondered for the last while if staying at the company through this "dip" was still going to be the best choice for me in the long run and it was worth my time and energy.
I have been underpaid and overworked for quite some time and before the last while it has been for a vision and plan that I wholeheartedly believed in. Then recently the vision and plan moving forward has changed drastically. As a result my perspective on this "dip" has changed significantly in that I believe that it may be time to quit and move on to something else.
Quitting is not something that I take lightly and to be honest never planned on quitting from this job or company that I am currently at. Even if I do choose to leave and start new ventures in my life it will be because the "dip" was something that I had to quit and not just because it was the easy route out. It is vital for me to remember both now and in the future how vital it is to stick it out through the hard things and not just quit when the going gets tough.
