Man: I've had it with this job! I hate it around here!
Brutus: If that's the way you feel, why don't you quit and try something new?
Man: New might be worse.
Yea the grass always looks greener on the other side. I know plenty of people that left a place they didn’t like only to work at a place that they liked even less. Sometimes it’s better to stick with the devil you know.
Should I stay or should I go? The rules for the guy in the strip are simple and easy:
1) Keep the old job until you’re ready to quit because you’ve found a new one.
2) Do as much homework as you can on any company you’re applying to or interviewing with, so you can make an informed decision. There are no guarantees, but at least you can do your best to stack the deck in your favor.
3) Trust your gut — if something about the job or the company doesn’t feel right to you, keep looking.

New is frequently worse. The rule is change jobs because you’re attracted to the new one, not because you dislike the old one.
