This article hit me like a ton of bricks. I have been so accustomed to head to grind that I often times forget to look up. I recently went through all the familar signs and was terminated, downsized, rightsized, laid off or other fancy term to cover up the fact that I am not part of the leadership team. It was shocking but a relief at the same time. I know that I don't want to work for an organization that doesn't believe in diversity. It is a known fact that this organization is living on borrowed time. It did me a favor. Now I can concentrate my energy on where I want to take my career.

I was reading this article and 5 out of 6 of these signs are what is going on with me at work. I have been going back and forth in my mind and trying to be really positive about my situation, but after reading this article, I am going to step up my job search 300%. Thanks so much for the tips!!!!!!!

It's long past my time to leave my current office. Outside of 1 on your list all the remainder are applicable. It's sad to know the 'good ol' network is alive everywhere; even includes those who look like me; cliques run rampant

Regarding Kathy Thomas-Massey's response to your thoughtful article "6 Signs You Should Leave Your Job":

Kathy: I hear you when you say "I've done nothing to deserve this. My performance reviews are good. My relationship with clients is good. What gives?" Don't take it personally. We don't live in a perfect world and over the decades, the employer/employee dynamic has changed. The traditional loyalty just doesn't exist any more and whether that is a good or a bad thing doesn't really matter -- it is just the way things have evolved. If your company doesn't perceive that you are a good fit going forward, it's best to move on to a better opportunity with another company that truly values you and the contributions you can make. Consider it an opportunity for a new beginning.

I am in the process of composing my resignation letter when I came across this informational article. My direct boss is someone who could sell ice to an eskimo and I know my letter will not be received well and the sales pitch will begin, we are under a 100% retention policy at the moment so the investors know what their fixed employee expenses will be for the next year. I consider myself an entruepeneur who is stuck in a non-compete for another 6 weeks and after working a "corporate" job for the last year I am quite ready to go back to making money instead of collecting a paycheck. With your article I have been able to add several key points to my resignation letter and my key arguments for resigning will be strong. Thank you!
