Not all work places are created equal. Here are some signs that it might be time to leave yours behind. Disclaimer: I have not personally experienced all of these, but I have experienced some of them. Others I have just observed or thought up in my brain.
- You count the days until the next weekend, but you start during the current weekend
- The General Manager is Bipolar
- You fall asleep at your desk every day, several times a day, despite the fact that you got enough sleep and have consumed five large cups of coffee during the day
- You walk around the office all day quoting Milton from Office Space
- Your company institutes a blanket surveillance and search policy, completely ignoring and violating your personal rights to be secure in your own clothes (Nazis didn’t last for a good reason)
- Your blood pressure spikes when you look at the clock and see that only three minutes have passed since the last time you looked at the clock
- All of your coworkers get excited every time the company has some new program or policy, and you can’t help but think that they are all completely insane
- You wake up two hours before your body is ready to wake up, and you do this every day
- The boss says, “Praying at the end of every meeting isn’t enough.”
- Every time you read a new Dilbert comic, you say, “That just happened to me last week!”
