what to consider before you leap

 

离职前戏

 

Is there any way to redeem the job you have?

 

There are many reasons to hate a job. Maybe you have a terrible boss. Maybe your employer has draconian policies about leave, or supports a culture in which it's totally OK to call you on your days off or even your vacation. Think carefully about whether you really need to leave in order to make your day-to-day life better.

 

Can you get laid off, instead?

 

If you quit your job, generally speaking, you won't be entitled to unemployment. Nor, most likely, will your employer offer you any severance pay. For these reasons, it's obviously preferable to be laid off than to quit. Keep your ear to the ground, and prepare to graciously volunteer astribute, if layoffs arrive.
