Don’t join the Army
For the next 4 weeks I’ll work a minimum of 84 hours each week. That’s 12 hours a day, 7 days a week with the chance of this turning into 24hour shifts on top of the normal 6-6 schedule with no notice. I won’t get overtime, I won’t get comp time on the back end, and I make 27,000 a year. Don’t join the Army.
My brother died
I asked for three weeks off. They called me 10 days in and told me I had to come back. I had literally just finished cleaning his blood and brains off the wall in his apartment.

Spend time with your family. Tell them you love them.

COVID ruined my restaurant
Last year I added a successful family restaurant in town to my investment portfolio. To save operating costs I let 3 of the 4 waitstaff go, replaced the head chef with a minimum wage line cook, changed the supplier to Sodexo's economy tier and eliminated most of the low-profit items from the menu. I also removed a lot of the seats to encourage guest turnover. When customer volume declined unexpectedly, I had to let the remaining waiter go to protect my investment's ability to produce, and assigned their duties to the line cook. I then had barely any customers and they all complained about the food, which is the line cook's fault for not doing their job correctly. COVID killed my business, but thankfully I was able to recoup some of the losses with a PPP grant before selling the building. People who complain about business owners don't realize how…
A Deadly Poverty Trap

I am currently looking for a job and I think I have a good grasp on what red flags people should look for. However, I think there are some that people overlook, or don't know about and this subreddit may be a good place to have a constructive list? Also so I feel less paranoid about if something is or isn't a red flag.
