Job Change Impact On Mental Health: Today’s youth are victims of office fraud where changing jobs frequently due to better salary and brand may appear to be progress from outside. But inside it is making you mentally unstable.
There is a new term trending in today’s corporate world called office frogging. Just as a frog jumps from one leaf to another, similarly when an employee changes jobs at short intervals, he is called an office frog. Although this may be a shortcut to increasing salary, its psychological consequences are quite serious.
In the modern work culture, factors like better packages, office near home, and work-life balance instigate people to switch jobs. This trend is highest among Gen Z. For this generation, job is not just a means of earning money but a means that matches their happiness and values. If the management is not transparent or the work environment is stressful then young employees do not hesitate to resign without thinking.
Instability and Anxiety: Adapting to a new environment, new boss and new work policy every time puts additional pressure on the mind.
Performance Anxiety: There is a constant fear of proving oneself in a new place, which leads to lack of sleep and irritability.
Sourness in relationships: Office stress often reaches home, increasing tension in family relationships.
Lack of confidence: Due to not being able to stay at one place for a long time, a person starts doubting his abilities.
Experts believe that changing jobs every 6 months is dangerous for both your resume and your mind. But if you start getting panic attacks due to going to office, your physical health starts deteriorating or the environment there becomes toxic, then switching is the right decision.
By doing office work you can get a jump of about 20 to 30 percent in salary but in the long run it destabilizes your career graph. Big companies are afraid to trust candidates who do not stay at one place even for a year. It is wise to strike a balance between career growth and stability.
