What Are You Tolerating?
By Jeff Altman, The Big Game Hunter
Jeff Altman, The Big Game Hunter encourages you to take note of the things you tolerate at work so that when your current firm makes a counteroffer you can decide whether it is worthwhile to accept.
Getting Them to Increase The Offer
I was doing a coaching call yesterday with someone and we got to a point in our conversation where he said something wonderful. What he said (and I think it is very relevant for you as a job hunter), he asked himself the question, “What am I tolerating?” I asked the question of you– What are you tolerating? What are you putting up with, what was he putting up with, what was he putting up with in his current job that he knew he didn’t like, but you’ve just grown so numb to it where he grew to tolerate the condition?
For you as a job hunter, particularly when you get to the counteroffer phase or the resignation phase, which may lead to the counteroffer, it is important for you to be conscious of the things that you are putting up with work that just really don’t serve you. That’s because when you get to the point when you resign and your employer says, “What is it going to take? What is it going to take to keep you,” and they start selling you about the money, is not just the money that is been driving you out the door. It is the things that you have been putting up with for the longest time they are really forcing you to look at other choices.
So, again, write down the things that you are tolerating, the things that you’re putting up with that you really don’t care for were there making you emotionally numb rather than conscious and passionate and loving everything about your work.
