Do people change jobs or bosses?

This one question has been playing on my mind for quite sometime now...

For obvious reasons...

But I am not sure if I have the right answer to this question... The closest I could reach is that people do change bosses and not jobs... But this may not be true all the time...

Why do I think so?

An organisation is made up of people... if you are in the services industry then your job involves interacting with people... so obviously it's people and more people around you ...

Over a period of time these people become a part of your life... and sub- consciously they start affecting your life...

You then start looking upto some people and some others you just dont care...

Well lucky for you if you have a boss you could look upto and learn something from else you start lookin for one elsewhere...

And in the bargain you change your job...

Well not sure if this funda really works for everyone and everytime...

But then it has some truth...

So is it that you keep changing your boss everytime you don't find the right one... May be not... Not all human beings are perfect... Atleast I am not...

Learning is also a key factor ... you need to learn something everytime and thats what keeps you going... learning new things and delivering results on things you have learned in the past...

And when learning stops, your challenges become limited... and then again IT's TIME TO MOVE ON....

Well this is my side of gyan on this funda...

Learning, delivering, the kind of work you do, the satisfaction you get post that, people whom you could look upto, people whose company you would like to be in... all these factors define one's longetivity in a job...

Did I forget to mention the MOOLAH factor...

Atleast in a day and age of today its one factor that cannot be missed out...
