On average, women think about quitting their jobs 17 times a year

And it’s a lot.

Research conducted a few months ago shows that we are increasingly thinking about leaving our jobs. Yes, the study conducted by the Association of Accounting Technicians looked at workplace patterns and found that the majority think about quitting their jobs… a lot. The study found that on average, women think about quitting their jobs 17 times a year. What’s even more surprising is the fact that we also think about changing careers entirely ten times per year. It also found that women work 32 hours per week—or 1,668 hours per year and 34 percent of those surveyed have made the tough decision to switch jobs. More than a third of those who took part in the survey said they had pursued that thought further and retrained, whereas one in five were actively thinking about doing so. And it might have something to do with workplace disagreements. The study found that throughout the course of our working lives, we will go through 671 workplace arguments – we’re exhausted just thinking about it. On the flip side, the study also revealed that we’ll also experience five office romances throughout our career.
