Jumping ship: when is the right time?
Most importantly, should you jump as the boat is taking water and risk the possibility of being sucked into the hull? Or climb to the highermost point and try to swim away as the vessel goes under, maybe being sucked under in the process.
But really what this is about... when is the right time to leave a company you feel is letting you down in regards to pay, treatment, conditions, etc. There are certain aspects about this employer that I like (see benefits). But over the last year I feel they have completely failed one of their core principles, which is supposedly caring about their employees. This may all just be my opinion, but since they can’t seem to hang onto a particular demographic of employee I’d say I’m not wrong in my observation.
People who have worked for larger corporations feel free to chime in here, because that will be most relevant. But I’d also love to hear your actual sinking ship survival stories as well.
