is feeling disrespected reason good enough to change jobs?

people do not quit jobs, they quit managers and I personally would like to quit some coworkers.

Basically the manager says in public that I'm good and passionate about the job but privately she writes the opposite. She never talked to me about what I need to improve, if anything. And then has the gall to tell me to trust her if I want to open up to her. Two faced, not to trust.

I only found out when another manager read to me what she wrote about me.

I was never good at playing office politics. FWIW I don't like the job, I do it because I need money and I'm good at it.

  • Any reason is good enough to quit a job if you’re thinking of quitting.

    What matters is how you feel going in each day.

    I would advise when possible to not quit until you’ve got something else lined up however.

  • In general I always apply for a few jobs per year, even if I like my job. If I'm feeling unhappy at work, I'll apply for about 20 jobs per day.

    It never hurts to keep your options open for a salary increase, practice your interview skills, and learn what other companies are interested in.

  • Most of the jobs I have left has been as a form protest. Manager/boss say or do something then I am happy to take my labour to a new career.

    We're all worth respect and if a job can't offer that then they aren't worth our labour.

  • Start looking for a new job. Can get an increase plus dont have to deal with 2 faced managers.

  • Just be sure to find another job before quitting. Always easier to find a job when you already have one.

  • You said it yourself; people change managers, not jobs.

    So you’ve established that continuing to work for this manager is undesirable on multiple levels. Does that other manager want you to come and work for them? Would you want to? Line something up either inside our outside the company so that you no longer have to work for that manager; I suspect your current manager will be gone within a year if another manager was already talking to you about your file.
