What do I do when my values no longer match my job?
When you joined, your values and the organisation's lined up well enough. Since then both have changed, yours and theirs, and the gap between them has grown. Now you are doing work that no longer fits the person you have become. That is not a small thing. It is one of the quieter reasons good people feel wrong in a role they used to fit. It helps to see that no one is necessarily the villain here. People grow, organisations shift, and alignment that was once real can simply wear thin over time. The discomfort you feel is not weakness or disloyalty. It is your integrity noticing a mismatch. That signal is worth respecting rather than arguing yourself out of. So get honest about which values have moved and how much. Name the specific places where the work asks you to be someone you no longer are. Some gaps can be narrowed by changing your role or how you work. Others cannot, and then the question becomes whether you can stay whole here. Start by naming it clearly to yourself. Clarity comes before any good decision, and this one deserves a good decision.
