Red flags/niggles in a job?
Discussion
Wondering what people see as a red flag in a new/potential/current job?
Where I am there's been a couple of smashed and removed floor tiles in the gents since at least when I started over 6 months ago. Nearly 2m2, they're big tiles and there's been a couple of cones placed over them, so they're hardly un-noticeable. It's one of those things that doesn't REALLY matter in the grand scheme of things, the toilets/sinks still work, but it's a little niggle.

Being invited down to the pub by the MD to be told that your pay cheques would be a little late this month, won’t be able to make the December payments. That was a definite red flag, then watching three of the hardware engineers beat the s
t out of the MD with serious injuries, (he spent Christmas in hospital). 1998 I remember it well.
Not only that but the beer was ste as well.

"Why did you leave your last job?"
"Bathroom tiles were broken"
Micro-managing is the major red flag for me.
LOL! I suppose when you put it like that... "Bathroom tiles were broken"
Micro-managing is the major red flag for me.
I should clarify that micro-managing was nothing to do with the bathroom tiles, that was answering your question.

The carpark looks like this out back: ... and this up front:
It looks exactly like that
Taycan is even the same colour.

When the very profitable company ypu work for starts counting every penny. Stuff like removing all stationary from departments/floors and having it issued (with some sort of justification) once a week from a locked cupboard.

Hackathons. Any mention of this in a job description or company culture, the company can FRO.
Any sort of mention of "empowered to problem solve" goes well with that. Basically translates as "we're fed up of saying we'll fix things and then never doing it so we'll make it your fault it doesn't get changed from now on"Gassing Station | Jobs & Employment Matters | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
