Many employees do not make the decision to leave a job lightly.
They have probably spent hours thinking, reflecting and having conversations with bosses, friends and family.
There are many reasons for deciding against a particular job.
Money:
It is hardly surprising that one reason for some employees to change is money.
Around 37.7 percent of employees stated this in a survey by the German Employer Branding Academy, from which the
Arbeitsabc
portal quotes.
If you change jobs, you can increase your salary by up to 30 percent.
If you do want to stay in your job, keep a few tips in mind when negotiating your salary.
Managers

Lack of further development:
Do you have no opportunities for advancement in the company and cannot develop personally?
For some employees, this is a reason to look for a new job.
An intermediate step for you could be to apply for educational leave; you are entitled to five days of educational leave every year.
No creativity possible:
If you cannot contribute your own ideas and the pressure to perform becomes too great, you may lose motivation at work.
Other values:
If you can no longer identify with the company's values, goals and working methods, your sense of belonging will disappear.
Anyone who doesn't feel connected to the company or team is more likely to look for a new job.
