Simon Sinek is the author of many Best-selling books on leadership, and an expert in the field of vocational consultancy and building a healthy working environment.Although Sinek always cheered everyone to pursue the work they love, he did not encourage giving up work as soon as you feel depressed.Below is a list of steps that Sinek encourages those who are feeling depressed when working should consider before applying for a resignation.
1. If you only work less than 6 months, do not rush to quit your job.
According to Sinek, at least 6 months is the time needed for a person to adapt to the new job.Therefore, if you are new to work for a few months and feel tired or pressure, it may be because you are still not familiar with the rotation of the apparatus.At this time, you need more time to determine your emotions instead of giving up so easily.
2. If you have worked for more than 6 months and still feel depressed, take time to consider other causes.For those who are new to work, look back at your own attitude.
Sometimes, the way you see work affects your emotions when working.If you only consider the job as a money -making tool and just want to complete the assigned target, then no matter how many times you jump, you can hardly find satisfaction.
Besides, your working attitude decides how you get/be treated at work.No one wants to work with or cares about a person who has no progress, so you will feel isolated, even despised by colleagues, leading to pressure increase.
3. Think of all factors that lead to depression when going to work.
Think of what is making you most frustrated, most bored every morning.Do you hate the job you will have to do?You are not satisfied with the behavior of colleagues?Or do you not want to meet your superiors and feel like you have to meet with them?
4. Consider your superiors as a person instead of a problem.
Most cases of depression at work are because you do not fit the working style of your superiors, leading to inhibition at work and feeling depressed.However, don't consider your leader a problem - look at them as a human being.Maybe they are harsh for you because they themselves are under pressure in life.They may not understand your strengths or do not know how to coordinate with you so that the two sides are comfortable and more effective.Understanding their working style and seeking opportunities to discuss problems is a way to help you get out of a stalemate without having to risk your job.
5. You can create your own working environment.
Instead of just lamenting that the working environment is too harsh, you can try to make a change.Start by connecting and helping your colleagues, especially when they have the same problem as you.You may be the one who creates a change and stimulates others to change.From there, everyone will have a healthier working environment.
6. Be patient because the change does not occur in just one night.
Like every usual social relationship, the relationship between you and the workplace cannot be improved in just one afternoon.You need to slowly neutralize the problems you are experiencing at work, try different solutions to improve the situation and give yourself time to see the change.
7. If you still want to give up, spend energy on yourself instead of blaming.
If you believe that the relationship between you and the work cannot be saved anymore and you are determined to want to leave, do not waste time lamenting.Instead of continuing to blame your work or regret working there, you can spend your energy to develop your skills and seek opportunities to leave.At the same time, turn negative experiences into lessons so as not to repeat them in new work.
8. When looking for a new job, don't just search for a way.
If you have failed once in a relationship with a job, when you set a new job, don't accept anything.If you still keep the superficial attitude over the speaker, it will be difficult for you to find a better job than the old job that makes you depressed.Compare the opportunities you find with your current job, focusing on the points you want to improve in a new working environment that your current job has not met.That is how you get rid of depression when working and finding a working environment to help you satisfy.
