Clarity - The 10 Signs To Heed
1. Extreme Boredom & Distractions
o  Feel drained at meetings and on calls.
o  Enjoy distractions more than work.
o  Would rather waste time than be productive.
Actionable Advice:
ü  Come up with one aspect of work that
interests you and focus on that.
2. Sick of Broken Merit System
o  Sick of the broken merit system and
getting passed over for promotion.
o  Your talents and skills go unused.
Actionable Advice:
ü Identify one place where your skills excel
others, set up a meeting with the boss and
ask for a raise.
How you feel matters. Ignoring it does
not make it go away.
3. Dread Going Through the Motions
o  Dread going in to work altogether.
o  Resent waking up for work. Snooze a lot.
Actionable Advice:
ü  Ask your boss if telecommuting once a
week is ok?
4. Intolerance for Systems & Policy
o  Get aggravated with inefficient systems.
o  Find it a huge waste of time to follow
policies and procedures.
Actionable Advice:
ü Speak out against policies and decisions
with poise and professionalism.
5. Indifference to Company Direction
o  Complete indifference to news and
direction of your company.
o  No sense of identity with your workplace.
Actionable Advice:
ü Find a community, organization or entity
where you can belong.
Do You See and Heed the Signs?
6. Zero Sense of Pride or Excitement
o  Lost all excitement for your work.
o  No interest to do a good job or to
learn, despite your work ethics.
Actionable Advice:
ü Create the beginner mindset by asking
for new project or transfer.
7. Doing it Just for the Money
o  Absolutely only doing it for the money.
o  Feel trapped but rely on the paycheck.
Actionable Advice:
ü Start one thing that you would do for
free for the rest of your life.
Use Your Brilliant Imagination!
8. Abundance of Poor Attitude
o  Sarcasm is your new outlet for frustration.
o  You complain a lot and swing between
grumpy, self-righteous and angry.
Actionable Advice:
ü Remove yourself from social interactions
that reinforce this.
9. Finding Authority Unbearable
o  No longer dream of advancing in
company hierarchy.
o  Dream of freedom and being your
own boss.
Actionable Advice:
ü Write the description of your ideal job
and workplace.
Endless Possibilities Lay Before You!
10. Low Desire for Your Well-being
o  Allow undue stress in your personal life.
o  Feel no motivation to care about your
body despite declining health signs.
Actionable Advice:
ü  Find a “health” accountability partner
right away.
Bonus 11. You Are Here
While I am delighted that you

that you are contemplating
an exit strategy already!
