What do relationships, personal trainers, jobs, and 70% off sales have in common? It can be difficult to know when to walk away from all of them.

There’s always one more reason to stay, one more “maybe”, one more last-ditch attempt to make it work. But are you too nervous to face the fact that it’s just not working? When it comes to jobs, there’s no reason to stay at a company that no longer serves a larger purpose.

Below are nine signs to help you spot when it’s time to say goodbye.

1.   You dread Mondays

Whether you work the traditional 9-5 or not, if you notice your mood improve as you get closer to a day off and then deteriorate as you inch closer to returning to the office, then it might be time to move on. You spend more time at work than you do anywhere else, you shouldn’t live just for the weekend.

2.   You dislike your colleagues

Not getting along with co-workers can make the workplace a truly unpleasant experience. You likely spend more time with your colleagues than with your partner or family, so there should be some mutual respect there, at the very least. If you’ve tried to find common ground and or attempted to iron out any issues through HR channels, then it is definitely time to admit defeat and move on.

3.   You’re disengaged

Do you bring your best ideas to the workplace and take pride in the job that you do? If the answer is no, you’ve likely started to disengage from your role–– this is known as “quiet quitting”. It’s impossible to feel passionate 24/7, but once you stop having pride in your work then your mental health may start to become affected, and it is 100% time to walk away.

4.   You’re not progressing

Are there opportunities for growth, salary increases or career progression? If you’re not career-minded and are happy with your current role and the work/life balance you have, then good for you.

However, if you do want to progress to the next level in your career it’s important that your current role supports that. Maybe there’s no obvious progression for you internally, but you should still be learning from your colleagues and your boss. If you’re not, you’ll never be ready to step up to the next level elsewhere. This is a clear sign it is time to start exploring your options externally.

5.   The workplace is toxic

It can happen to the best of us––you find yourself working in a toxic environment. What should be a collaborative and supportive workplace turns out to be the opposite and management doesn’t seem interested in changing anything. If you find your workplace to be toxic or harmful to your mental or physical health, you have to move on and find a new role. And remember, toxic to you might be fun to somebody else, it doesn’t mean that you’re wrong. What’s important is that your workplace is a fit for your personality.

6.   You have no work/life balance

Do you receive phone calls, Slacks or “urgent” WhatsApps outside work hours? Does your boss contact you via every communication channel ever invented? Are you stressed about work projects on your days off or lose sleep due to your workload? While all industries will have busier times than normal, if you find yourself constantly tipping your work-life balance in favour of work, it might be time to look at other job options.

7.   The company’s future is unsafe

There are very few companies that don’t go through a rough patch at some point, and many overcome them. But if you’re concerned about the future stability of your workplace then it’s time to start researching what other roles are available so you can secure your future.

8.   You’re underpaid

If you think your duties or workload are not being properly compensated then a move might be worth considering. Money isn’t everything––if you can pay all the bills––but being undercut by a company that is profiting off your work is just wrong.

Arm yourself with research. Find the industry benchmark for your role, ask your network for information, and work out what your salary should be. Explore your earning potential elsewhere and if your boss won’t match your salary expectations… well, decision made.

9.   You want a challenge

If you’re no longer being challenged in your current role then it is 100% time to walk away and find something else.
