This has been red flag number 5 in the past couple weeks. I just started here and i feel so dissapointed and being lied to. Only my salary is fine i guess but with increased prices of everything, having to pay for lunch, no work from home option at all and almost no flexibility, this starts to feel like terror.
I've had multiple jobs and somehow i managed to get the most old-fashioned one at a time where i was actively looking for some flexibility. I had the option to just say no to this job aswell. But they convinced me this was an amazing company, with fun people, and really no 9-5 mentality.
But i have to commute everyday, traffic jams, feeling tired all the time, but i also feel i let myself and everyone around me down if i would quit.
Some more red flags i found:
– Micromanaging… as in by the second…
– No free lunch (not getting paid either)
– A company party/trip actually costs me money.
– Parking, costs money.
– Have to start earlier (unpaid) than was told when interviewed.
– Was told there would be 'growing oppertunities' but there is no way that's gonna be possible.
– The office itself is an absolute living hell of a depressing shithole.
– Have this feeling that there is more underneath the surface about management/boss.
– The multiple invites on social media channels from managers also really doesn't feel good.
The family thing is just another sign for me that i'm maybe at the wrong place?
