I have been unhappy with my job and the company I work for for the past 3 months, and have been actively applying for new jobs and interviewing with companies since. Although I've gotten close to getting a new, better job a couple times, it ultimately has not materialized.
As time passes, my impatience and discontentment keep growing, to the point where I am considering quitting without having a new job in sight. I feel disconnected from the company, the work, and my teammates... also, if I'm honest, I feel cynical and resentful. (Monday mornings have not been happy days for me lately.)
Emotionally, I'm so ready to quit but reason tells me I can't, shouldn't. What if I don't find a new job soon? (I know for a fact that unemployment makes me anxious and depressed.) My husband works, and we have savings, so it's not like I would be completely vulnerable... but still, work gives me structure, something to do, and of course I can't be without making money for too long.
I asked the I Ching, "What if I quit?" and got 46. > 11. Seems like I Ching is saying quitting will be good for me, and that I should keep working towards my goals (meaningful work, higher pay etc.) and not worry. Do you interpret this as positive, as well?
I also asked "What if I stay?" and got an answer that seemed much more negative: 43.2.5 > 30.
Would appreciate your thoughts on this. Also, has anyone here ever made a seemingly "reckless" decision based on I Ching advice? Thank you :)
