  1. Don't like your job? Quit. on Changing Jobs for Job Satisfaction? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I quit a perfectly good job as a web developer in December 2002 to start a nonprofit organization. I wrote an article about the factors that went into my decision. You can read it here.

    It starts like this:

    "We do not do what we want and yet we are responsible for what we are -- that is the fact."

    -- Jean Paul Sartre. Situations, II. 1939.

    Don't like your job? Quit. It's that easy. "At will" employment is a double-edged sword that cuts both ways. Sure, your employer can downsize you at any time, but you can leave at any time, too.
