When unemployment is at an all-time high, many people are so desperate to find work that they are bound to overlook several subtle red flags that should not be ignored at any cost. For example, any interviewer who is unable to provide you with an explanation as to why they enjoy their own job should inform you that working there is likely to be a miserable experience. One Redditor called for people to share their experiences with minor red flags that alerted them to walk out of job interviews without a second thought.
The internet is full of Red Flag stories about candidates who were asked ridiculous questions during an interview or employers who were baffled by the candidate’s swift and unexpected responses to the questions. If you are currently hunting for a job, or your interview is scheduled around the corner, then you must read these greatest responses that we have compiled for you. We are sure you will burst out laughing after reading them. So, keep scrolling down and enjoy!
1. So, this guy asked the strangers to share their “Red flags” stories.
2. Indirectly, overtime is mandatory here.
3. Awful!
4. An awkward conversation!
5. That’s quite manipulating and insulting behavior.
6. This guy was asked to sign a contract that provided the employer with complete access to his medical records!
7. This guy was asked to bring a contact list of almost 100 family members and friends!
8. That’s rude!
9. Well, it’s the other way around.
10. It’s not good to be honest sometimes.
11. There’s nothing like a Standard Contract Stuff! Remember: Always read the contract first before signing it.
12. And if someone asks you to skip reading the contract and sign, then here’s what you can say:
13. Why it’s a common practice at the workplace to burden a single employee with multiple positions or tasks?
14. That’s why drafting a Job Description is important before filling a position.
It usually happens because the HR department hasn’t written a thorough Job Description or performed a Job Analysis to determine the type of candidate they need. How can a company find the candidate if they don’t know what kind of person would be the best fit for the job?
15. This guy was asked to purchase a shirt with the Company logo on it from the Company to work in the Company! Silly…
16. These managers sometimes act ridiculously! It’s such a disrespectful thing to do with a candidate who actually appeared for a job interview.
17. Worst. Boss. Ever!
18. Didn’t see that coming tho!
19. It should be illegal to mention “COMPETITIVE WAGE”. A proper pay range should be mentioned in each job ad.
We all can relate to this red flag. No? The internet is full of these job ads where it’s clearly mentioned that the wage will be market competitive, but in reality, it’s almost equal to a pay rate at a small local store.
20. Here’s another Subtle. Red. Flag!
21. That’s hilarious!
22. Oops.
23. So, that’s the reason behind “Don’t discuss your pay with anyone”
