It's a gardening job and already it seems a bit too anal for digging in the dirt? Idk. I almost always trust my gut instincts but I'm worried I'm possibly being irrational.
Potential red flags:
-Listing stated job was from 8-4, upon further discussion, it's more like 7-4ish. So that's 40+ hrs. MA doesn't pay overtime to agriculture and farming labor.
-Said to keep coffee in car cause it “looks lazy”
-no texting. This has never been an issue in my three years working on a farm. It's exhausting work and as long as you're getting shit done, it's no issue.
-cant wear jeans???? Must wear black, or other dark colors in the summer??? No rips in anything?! As a land laborer?!
-not music. Looks “unprofessional.” So I'm supposed to just be alone, with my thoughts, for 8+ hours? I've never seen a gardener NOT wearing headphones unless they're working alongside a partner and need to keep open communication.
-again, it's a gardening job but the training process feels like it did when I worked retail. Also didn't mention anything about being paid to learn this program.
-said we are all meeting tomorrow for a breakfast meet and greet? Except he's just supplying bagels.
