Hate Your Job? Now May Not Be the Time to Quit

The holiday season can make having a bad job seem even worse. The happiness of people around you can magnify your own misery and make quitting seem like a good idea.

It's even easy to use the season as a justification for walking away from a lousy work situation. Who wants to be miserable during the holiday season when everyone else seems to be enjoying it?

The problem is that even if you plan to be off for the month of December, quitting your job now could leave you out of work longer. That's because hiring cycles slow down toward the end of the year before ramping back up in the first quarter.
