Everybody's Working For The Weekend....

A better approach is "reasons why you need to find a new job/career/opportunity".

Don't just quit.

I suspect that depends on just how toxic one's job might become.

I quit a career than spanned nearly two decades without another job to go to. Instead I opted to go back to school and learn a new vocation. Best idea I had in years. Though in my case I had contemplated leaving as much as six months earlier.

Had I stuck it out much longer in that job I might not be here to comment about it. But I agree, one shouldn't be overtly impulsive in quitting much of any job if they can help it.

If possible, make a plan first even if there's no job to move to in the immediate future.

I've considered finding a new job, but for right now it OK. I like working in the construction,agriculture and ranching trades.

I make decent money and I've been doing since I was 15 and I'm almost 19. Although I am planning on taking courses to be a fireman as I've always wanted to be a volunteer firefighter.
 
I'm working on aiming to make a higher salary for my current job next year. My boss said the opportunity is there for me to have it. I'm working harder this year to reach higher sales targets and making lots of contribution to the company. I make sure I document all of this to bring up when I have the review next year. I find the most important thing when asking for a raise, don't bring this up at the very start of the conversation as it might be very unlikely you get the raise if you take that approach.
 
I can't imagine ever asking for a pay rise. I've spent so much time out of work I'd consider myself lucky to ever have permanent employment again.
