What Do You Do About Your Job When Your Life Changes?

Job and Life Changes

There are so many ways your life can take a turn, a change in direction. Which sends you down an entirely different path than you were going on. What do you do with your job when this happens? You mightโ€™ve launched your career years ago and have built up a great patient base with the years ahead looking bright because of all the hard work put in.

It could be a management or ownership change that impacts the culture where the environment goes from being โ€œthe work you enjoyโ€ to โ€œthe work that pays the bills.โ€ In other cases it might be a business change which impacts reimbursements. Or how you are compensated. These are the risks of being in the business world and we are all susceptible to them.

What about a scenario where the needs of your family change. When you joined the practice you might have been single. Then got married. Had a couple of kids. Both spouses may be working and that family support which you didnโ€™t need now becomes a โ€œtop-of-the-listโ€ concern. How do you pivot at that point?

Advancing Toward Your Career Goals

Should you change jobs in pursuit of them? Or position yourself in a new way at work?

Pay attention to the signals of a stalled career.

If the status quo at your office bothers you, or if you feel apathetic or nonchalant about your work, you have company.

A recent Aon Hewitt poll found that only 63% of employees felt sufficiently engaged on the job. According to a Gallup poll, even fewer Americans truly like what they do for a living: just 32% of employees are โ€œinvolved in, enthusiastic about and committed to their work and workplace.โ€1

ย If you dream of an escape and doing just enough to avoid getting fired, you have three basic avenues

One, go into business for yourself (a move that is impractical and terribly risky for most people).

Two, change jobs.

Three, see if you can make yourself more valuable and more engaged where you are.
