Episode 125: I'm bored at work (and I don't know if that means I should leave)
You're not unhappy, exactly. The job's fine. The pay's fine. Nobody's making your life difficult. And yet you've started caring far too much about office politics you used to ignore, and there's a tab open on a jobs site you keep telling yourself you're only browsing. Something's gone flat. You just can't work out whether that's a problem to fix or a sign to leave.
What you'll discover
- Why boredom is so much harder to act on than its louder cousin, burnout
- The reason being good at your job lets you hide it for years, from your team and from yourself
- The three very different things "I'm bored" can be hiding, and why telling them apart changes what you do next
- The step most people skip entirely before deciding whether to stay or go
Perfect for: anyone who has found themselves in a perfectly decent job who has quietly gone flat and doesn't know whether that means a conversation or a resignation.
