" They ever say , ' We are family here . ' F*****g run . "
I’m sure you’ve heard ofAsk Reddit, where people can ask the internet just about anything. Some people get life advice, others go back-and-forth about their favorite shows, and a lot of people vent about their relationships.
Recently,u/chantal_goldiasked, “What are the little-noticed red lines in the interview that indicate it would be a bad place to work?”
And responders kept it veryyy real about the red flags they’ve experienced in job interviews. Trust me, these are things you probably wish you knew before taking your first job:
1.“They ever say, ‘We are family here.’ Fucking run.”
2.“When you are asked, ‘Are you going to get pregnant anytime soon?'”

It was up to me to keep e-mail hour about that and even so , when I finally vex it there were errors in there … I knew that I would have to work close with the HR mortal in some projection and that was already a red iris , but I still took the job anyway . move around out , the documentation involving that somebody was always delayed and with errors , which made my line of work very hard . “—u / Dawnphoenix23
