From practice for the practice (43): job dissatisfaction

The employer is surprised to find a resignation letter on their desk and colleagues are also asto­nished when someone from their ranks hands in their notice.

„Time to say goodbye?“

Those who resign already have another job lined up. It‘s a long road from initial thoughts to final resignation, and never a spontaneous decision on the part of MT. A storm also rarely comes out of the blue but gradually builds up. Is resigning really the right decision when the level of commitment to the place of work wanes? The term ‚job satisfaction‘ refers to the overall level of satisfaction: decent pay, appreciation, the mood within the team, the latest technology, flexible working hours, paid overtime and courtesy and cooperation regarding personal requests.
