Unhappy at work? This is how often we think about quitting our jobs

Orlaith Condon

And it’s a lot.

A new study has found that we are increasingly thinking about leaving their jobs.

Yes, the study conducted by the Association of Accounting Technicians looked workplace patterns and found that the majority think about quitting their jobs… a lot.

The study found that on average people think about quitting their jobs 17 times a year.

That’s nearly one and a half times a month and what’s even more surprising is the fact that we also think about changing careers entirely 10 times a year.

More than a third of those who took part in the survey said they had pursued that thought further and retrained, whereas one in five were actively thinking about doing so.

And it might have something to do with workplace disagreements.

The study found that throughout the course of our working lives, we will go through 671 workplace arguments – we’re exhausted just thinking about it.

On the flip side, the study also revealed that we’ll also experience five office romances throughout our career.
