BURNED OUT? CHANGE CAREERS?

Are you one of the 70% of all U.S. employees unhappy at work? Does your job meet your employer's needs but not yours?

From every career corner, I hear the roar of burned out workers - so many people want to quit but not sure how. Can you relate?

Before walking out, speak up. Perhaps your boss could help - is he really that bad? Of course, there was a Gallup poll done that showed 75% of employees left because of their manager, not the job. BUT,  "career development is a whole new topic in the boardrooms aroung the country." (Take This Job and Love It!).

Don't quit on whim. Weigh the pros and cons carefully. Know what you want to do and where you want to go. Planning is the key for your choosing the career instead of letting the career choosing you.

Will provide a link or detailed information, about 70% of dissatisfied employees.

I have read many artilces on this statistic and have asked the authors for their source but none have provided this information. I have researched the Gallup Poll site and could not find it, I emailed Gallup and they did not give a specific article or an author.

Please help.
