"Now that it appears that the extreme highs and lows are behind us, the slow and conservative pace employees are seeing with their own employment situation is causing employees to evaluate if now is the time to see if the grass may be greener with another employer," said Rusty Rueff, Glassdoor's career and workplace expert. "While the past few years have tilted to an employer market, we're leveling out and employees are finding their position to stand upon," he said.
Less than half of those surveyed (40 percent) said they expect a cost-of-living or pay increase in the next year.

And, of course, the No. 1 reason people cited when it comes to accepting a job offer is money.
Nearly three out of four (73 percent) cited salary and compensation as their top deciding factor, followed by location/commute (55 percent), career growth opportunities (30 percent) and the amount of work expected (22 percent).
Just 17 percent said they were concerned about being laid off at their current job.
And, while many companies are still playing it safe, some are starting to wise up to this possibility for a mass exodus of workers and are offering more perks.
Among those employees who reported positive changes at their company, 65 percent reported being awarded some new perk such as the option to work remotely, casual dress, flexible work hours and/or new stock. That's the highest level in over a year.
Of course, you don't just say "I'm going to get a new job this year" and poof! Like "I Dream of Jeannie," you get a new job. The Indeed survey found that, aside from losing weight, most people think finding a new job was the hardest New Year's resolution to keep.
So, where are all these jobs that we might resolve to get in the New Year?

"But wait!," you say. "I love my job. I just wish I earned more!"
Well great news, Underpaid Workers of America – January just so happens to be one of the best months to ask for a raise, according to professional-networking site LinkedIn.

But hang on there a second, Champ – you can't just go marching in there and demand a raise citing January or this article as your reason!
Make sure you do your homework, using a site like Payscale.com, GetRaised.com or Glassdoor.com to find out what the standard pay is for your job. Make a list of your recent accomplishments (never ask for a raise right after a big flub). And make sure it's not a horrible time to ask your boss – like the company just had a terrible quarter or is in the middle of a big lawsuit.
As long as you do all of those things, it never hurts to, like Cuba Gooding, Jr. in "Jerry Maguire," ask your employer to SHOW. YOU. THE MONEY.
Worst they can say is "No," and then it's up to you to decide if it's time to look for another job.
The Chinese Zodiac says 2013 is the "Year of the Snake" but in Corporate America, it just might be the "Year of the Quitter!"
