Where there is work, they will
be challenges. Often work challenges manifest in the form of
never-ending or daunting tasks, co-worker issues, lack of support from
management, overlooked for promotions or zero recognition for your
efforts.
These types of concerns can make the most stalwart employee reconsider their options. Before you put your resume on overdrive and immediately tender your resignation while seeking greener career pastures, consider the following distinction:
Forbearance versus Complacency
Forbearance allows a person to survive the most challenging work situations with grace, dignity while holding one's temper. Also, forbearance does not equate to being oblivious of your work environment or job related problems.
Letting go of anger, frustration and disappointment regarding your job is easier said than done.
If you are angered or disappointed by a work issue, it will be hard to let it go. Sometimes, we wrap up in our anger like it is a warm blanket in winter. Yet, a person with a high level of emotional intelligence can move forward despite the setbacks to focus their energy positively. This takes some time and practice. When people leverage their forbearance skills, they can channel their efforts towards other positive career options.
On the other hand, being complacent that your career is not moving in the direction or time frame you want is not healthy because you will allow yourself to accept the status quo. If your work environment no longer provides you professional satisfaction and you ignore the problems it may lead to resentment, anger and undue stress.
