    If it's causing you physical effects of a negative nature, usually brought on by emotional or psychological effects of a bad nature. That alone would be good enough for me, but I guess they won't put circulation lights on a dangerous crossroad until three or four little kids get run over. :/

  • Being totally burnt and stressed out because of it. Being at odds with what you do for a living and burnt out is a pretty convincing combination.

    The day you realize that you're working only to work and it's doing nothing for you financially, I say that's one heck of a reason!

    Oh no...time to quit my job! lol I'm making enough to put gas in my car to get to and from work...pretty pointless!

    You should always have it in the back of your mind to stay aware of job opportunities that would improve your day-to-day situation.
    - new company comes to town that pays better
    - job closer to home to reduce your commute cost
    - a line of work with more opportunity to move up
    - the chance to get more specialized education
    - better working conditions
    What may be "the best reason" will not always be the same.

    In these times (and others, really)?

    You have a better-paying job (or it pays comparably and has better benefits) completely signed, sealed, and ready for you to go to.

  • currently, i have no reason to quit my job. i absolutely love it.

    but if i were to become bored, and have no way to change things up, or if the people i worked with became unbearable, then that would be my best reason to quit.

    Depends on what you want in life.

    I will quit my job in the future, when I'm ready to move to Iceland, or any other country I want to set foot in.

    Company and personal values have changed - you're no longer irreplaceable. If you leave, someone new will start.
    Of course there should always be some loyalty, you should have respect for the company and be thankful for the opportunities you've been given.

    I don't respect people that job-hop because they "feel" like it, are picky, demand things that are out of their jurisdiction and simply don't want to fit in.

    Having a better one to go to is the best reason, in my experience. Doesn't always work out like that - sometimes I've moved sidewards or took a step down if I've needed experience in a different field to move on in the long term.

    There are several. If you find the company is unethical, abuses or discriminates against employees or clientele, has corrupt or incompetent management, those are reasons to quit. If you find you dread going to work or dislike your duties, that's a reason to quite. If you find something else that suits you better or is financially more satisfying, that's a reason to quit. If you are ready to retire, that's a reason to quit. If you are just plain miserable, that's a reason to quit.
