'This is just code for "we will guilt you"': 20+ Red flags people spotted in their work places

Don't work at these places. They're already showing signs that they're not the best jobs to be employed at! Every job has its pros and cons, and it can take a while to figure out what those are for your industry. For example, I've learned that high turnover is a sign of a poor company. That also goes for places that rely heavily on intern input to come up with ideas… all while not paying said interns. These folks below delivered their own answers to u/Aviliuss's question: “What are some workpla…

'Having the appetite and dietary desires of a 5-year-old boy': 30 chaotic reasons to immediately stop dating someone

We all know the classic dating red flags, but everyone has their own individual pet peeves. Sure, lying about being single or being a stalker are dealbreakers, but pet peeves can have the same power to immediately disqualify someone from being in your life. Personally speaking, I have several red flags that I would always watch out for in my ‘first date’ days. Let's start with the people who say that they are ‘open books." No one who says that is an actual open book. The dates who say that are…

'They're not prepared for you on your first day': 40 Red flags people spotted in their new workplaces

Starting to work at a new company is a leap of faith. We all want to have the best job possible, with a great salary, tons of perks, good coworkers, benefits, and a nice work-life balance. There's no such thing as a perfect job — you might have a great salary, but your boss is always breathing down your neck. Or maybe you have a lot of vacation time to use, but you work 80 hour weeks most of the time. It's a trade off, and it's all about finding an environment you can thrive in. These folks bel…

'I don't believe in vacation': 30+ Interviewees who spotted red flags at the workplace and ran the other direction

Don't miss these waving red flags during your next job interview. It just might save you from wasting your time at a job that treats you terribly! One time, I went to a job interview that seemed a smidgen suspicious. The interviewer gave me the wrong interview time — midnight instead of noon — but I thought maybe it was just a chance for me to prove that I had a sharp eye for catching errors. Then, after the actual interview (at noon, not midnight), the place hired me within about twenty minute…

'It smells like fish': 25 Restaurant red flags diners should watch out for

You shouldn't judge a book by it's cover, but these folks have some surefire ways to tell if a restaurant is quality or not. I actually have a true story about this that you can totally judge me for. One time, I was in Harlem, volunteering to paint homes in an area I had never been before. I had to get lunch somewhere, so I stopped in a corner store and bought a BLT. I hung out in the store, and as the person behind the counter handed me the sandwich, I saw a cockroach crawling inside the glass…

They were going to rent a three-bedroom house and had two spare rooms that they were figuring out what to do with. The entitled boyfriend thought it was totally legitimate to dema…

20+ People Share the Subtle Signs That Someone is an A-Hole

If someone is snapping their fingers at waitstaff, shouting down a customer service rep, or abusing a stranger—they're an a-hole—absolutely no question about it; by acting in this way, they have broadcast their character loud and clear to the rest of us. But not all a-holes are quite so blatant; some do an incredible job of disguising themselves as a well-meaning person—a wolf in sheep's clothing—if you will. These people can go undetected for long periods of time, only exposing themselves in s…

What are subtle red flags at a job interview that say "working here would suck"?

'You'll be wearing many hats': 20+ Job Interview Red Flags You Might Be Missing

A job interview is a two-way street; as much as the company is seeing if they want to work with you, you're also deciding if you want to work for them. Unfortunately, there's a lot of smoke and mirrors involved with the traditional interview process. It's a performative experience in which both parties are attempting to seem desirable, neutral, and natural — revealing just enough without giving too much away. Most of us, who have been working for an appropriate length of time, have come across…
