Workplace Wellbeing: Should you stay or should you go? 

Low salary and lack of career progression can be reasons to quit a job, but there are also reasons to stay, such as bills to pay and family responsibilities. Making the decision can be difficult.

FIONA O’NEILL reached a turning point in her professional life in 2013. The 45-year-old, from Tipperary, is now the CEO of Count On Us Recruitment, but back then she worked for an insurance company.

“I’d started to climb the corporate ladder,” she says. “By my 30s, having invested in myself personally, professionally, and academically, I had a full-time job I enjoyed that provided health insurance and a pension. But my life circumstances changed and even though it was so difficult, I had to walk away from that career.”
