Job Interview Experts Reveal Red Flags To Look Out For With Potential Employees
[rebelmouse-image 18351980 is_animated_gif=Job interviews can be useful windows into the culture of a business. If you're in the hot seat, how you're treated and the attitude of the interviewer can have a big impact on whether or not you take the job. Make sure they treat you like you matter and beware of nebulous answers to questions you ask. Also, take note of strange demands, like being on call on days off (especially for menial jobs).
Lessie_Haag_DDS87 asked, What are subtle red flags at a job interview that say, "Working here would suck"?
Submissions have been edited for clarity, context, and profanity.
This is illegal, so asking it is definitely a red flag.
[rebelmouse-image 18351981 is_animated_gif=Was interviewing for a job as a receptionist and they wanted a list of any medicine I took at the interview. Umm. No.
No one works here for very long? That's not a good sign.
[rebelmouse-image 18351982 is_animated_gif=When they complain about the high turnover rate in the interview, there are usually good reasons why they can't retain employees.
You can't force people to pay back stipends for job training.
[rebelmouse-image 18351983 is_animated_gif=I applied for a phone job that paid awfully with really expensive benefits. I was offered the job and no joke after going through everything with me they slid a piece of paper across the table and asked me to sign it. The paper basically said if I quit in the first 3 months I have to pay back everything I earned while training (training was 30 days). The hiring manager said they require this because so many people quit after finishing training. I actually laughed at her. After seeing all the religious decorations all over the walls, the ledger of everyone's goals (looked like no one could meet the goals) the fact that they didn't offer sick pay and five of the employees I met were sick that day and working, I had enough. I was desperate for a job, any job, but that put me over the edge.
It's probably a bad idea to call interviewees ugly.
[rebelmouse-image 18351985 is_animated_gif=An interviewer/potential boss told me I had the look of someone who should work in the "back of the office". So probably that.
Most small businesses fail, ace.
[rebelmouse-image 18351987 is_animated_gif=Someone told me during an interview: "I'm an entrepreneur, so by definition, I know better"
That guy is an asshole boss for sure.
Total deal-breaker for me. I don't need permission to pee.
[rebelmouse-image 18347811 is_animated_gif="When you need a bathroom break, you need to alert one of the managers and request a quick break. If the phone lines aren't too busy, we can allocate you some time to log off from your phone and go to the bathroom. If the phones are busy, you'll need to wait until the calls have died down."
An actual quote from an interview I've had. I took the job anyway. Turns out you ALWAYS had to ask permission to go to the toilet. Not just when it's busy
This doesn't sound like a good time.
[rebelmouse-image 18351989 is_animated_gif="You'll be working under three managers, and your job will be to treat each one of them as if they are your only priority."
Nope, you don't own my private time.
[rebelmouse-image 18351990 is_animated_gif=When they say, "sometimes we may ask you to work nights and weekends and you always have to be near your phone."
If they can't manage their own time, and everyone looks miserable, run away.
[rebelmouse-image 18351991 is_animated_gif=When they keep you waiting more than 15 minutes past your scheduled interview time and make no apologies when you are called in.
When they are disorganized and no one seems to know exactly what you're there for.
When everyone looks glum - no smiling, laughing, interaction among employees.
You'll get the attitude you pay for.
[rebelmouse-image 18347581 is_animated_gif=If at any point you hear, "We're looking for someone with a rockstar attitude" what they really mean is "We're looking for someone we can overwork and underpay. You don't mind working 100 hours a week for $30k a year right?"
Re number 4: always get everything in writing.
[rebelmouse-image 18351992 is_animated_gif=Any interview lasting less than 10 minutes where they don't really ask you anything about yourself.
"Are you willing to work a lot for awhile until we get more people hired and trained up? We're a little short-staffed at the moment."
And pretty much any other question that starts with "are you willing to..." and ends with something most people in their right minds wouldn't be readily willing to do.
Offering to start you out at one rate of pay, then increase it once you're trained in, but there's nothing in writing agreeing to said increase.
When you walk in, do the people that already work there look like they enjoy it? If not, it's probably not a great working environment.
Hiring in haste is a biiiiiig red flag. No one likes desperation.
[rebelmouse-image 18351993 is_animated_gif=Had a phone interview once while I was also in college. The guy seemed kind of a prick anyway but nonetheless seemed to like me as a candidate. He said "alright. And when would you be available for an in-person interview?"
I believe it was a Friday afternoon. Monday I had classes all day... from 9 am spread out until 7 pm, so I said "Tuesday afternoon around 1 pm would work for me. I have cla-"
"Tuesday afternoon??"
"Uh yeah... as I was saying, I am unavailable all day mond-"
"That's too long to wait" click
That extra mile ain't free. Work should be rewarded.
[rebelmouse-image 18351994 is_animated_gif="We like to see someone go the extra mile."
Roughly translates to:
"You will work late nights, and possibly weekends, but not get paid any more for the time because you're salaried."
Opportunities for advancement are a big part of choosing a job.
[rebelmouse-image 18351995 is_animated_gif=When they cant give a straight honest answer about wages, hours, or opportunities to be promoted. Some employers get upset when you ask about it, but it is the entire reason for a job.
How are we supposed to plan for being sick?
[rebelmouse-image 18351997 is_animated_gif=I interviewed for a job once and the lady giving me an interview asked how many days a year was it acceptable to call in sick. I was like 18 and hadn't had very many jobs and had never got that question or ever even considered it. So I told her, "well I'm really not sure," she tells me to just take a guess. I say, "okay, for the whole year? 5 or 6? " she starts laughing and tells me that more than 3 or 4 would be a problem. I sat there thinking, well I was off by like 2, did that really justify you laughing at me? I ended up getting the job, it was working in the distribution warehouse of a chain of liquor stores building pallets to be sent out to other locations. On my first day getting anyone to talk to me was like pulling teeth. My supervisor who was training me acted like I was the most annoying thing in the world and hardly said 10 words to me the whole shift. If I asked something he'd just huff and grunt. After 4 hours I clocked out for lunch got in my car and never went back.
I'm prepared to not work on my day off BUT sometimes it's nice to make extra money.
[rebelmouse-image 18351998 is_animated_gif="Be prepared on your days off in case we call you in."
"Play hard" better mean something like paintball and raves.
[rebelmouse-image 18351999 is_animated_gif="We work hard and play hard" usually means they're slave drivers with terrible work-life balance issues, but will probably have a company Christmas party with free snacks and soda.
"If" is not what you want to hear in a job interview.
[rebelmouse-image 18352000 is_animated_gif=My first job interview ever I asked about how I would know where everything is. His response? "Just watch the others. We don't train." I hate that. Just tell me so when I'm asked to go get or make something, I don't look dumb in front of the customers.
Also when I asked about pay he kept dodging the question. "Well IF I decide to hire you, I'll tell you." "IF I hire you, you'll learn by watching the others as you work." "IF I hire you, I'll tell you how to you get your work schedule." "IF I hire you, we expect that pull always be available."
I literally hate the word "If" now. I went on a trip to Vietnam & the second I stepped foot in my house he called me to tell me I got the job. I denied it despite needing a job because I knew I would hate my life working there.
Who needs a schedule?
[rebelmouse-image 18352001 is_animated_gif=They won't tell you what your usual schedule will be.
You gotta have some workplace comradery.
[rebelmouse-image 18352002 is_animated_gif=Nobody is chatting, even in the break room.
Escape Room Employees Describe The Weirdest Ways Customers Have Tried To Free Themselves
I don't see the appeal of these rooms.
Why would one enjoy being trapped in a room?
When you watch people trapped in a movie you cheer for their release.
But this activity has gotten super popular.
And people have gotten real creative in their escapes.
Redditor CaptainCatButt wanted to hear confessions from the great escapes. They asked:
"Escape Room employees, what's the weirdest way you've seen customers try and solve an escape room?"
I haven't tried these rooms yet. Not sure I want to. Highly claustrophobic. Convince me...
No touching...
"I used to work at one. I can’t tell you how many people thought that power outlets were a prop and tried to stick keys into them. Guys. There was a lamp plugged into it and a 'do not touch, not a part of the game' sticker on it. It’s not a trick, don’t do that."
brasscassette
Shackles
"A friend of mine works for an escape room and he told me one about a puzzle where the key to the next door was shackled to a desk by a combination lock. What you are supposed to do is figure out the combination for the lock from the clues around the room to free the key. What one group decided to do instead was get a guy on each corner and pick up the 150 pound desk and carry it across the room, slide the key into the lock, and then rotate the entire desk to unlock the door."
sharrrper
'Yale'
"I am not an escape room employee but I did a lot of em and talked to the employees often. One of them told me there was a simple lock (opened by a key) that had 'Yale' written on it (the name of the lock company) and a lady (not native English speaker) thought it read 'yell' and legit shouted 'OPEN!!' at it, expecting it to open."
Dorza1
searching the fountain...
"Recently went to an escape room with my co-workers. Before we started, we were explicitly warned not to touch or drink the bright blue water coming out of a fountain because it would turn our skin blue - clearly people had tried searching the fountain as part of the escape room previously and now they have to warn everyone."
babers1987
Voice of God
"I was in an escape room once where one puzzle involved some objects that needed to be manipulated inside a structure that made it very awkward."
"We were all looking at it trying to figure out how to proceed when I said 'Well, the bottom is held on with screws and I have a screwdriver in my purse, but that would probably be cheating.' Instantly the Voice of God came over the intercom 'THAT WOULD BE CHEATING!' So we didn't do that..."
Miss_Speller
Well people really do get creative at this game... don't they?
Reverse
"Had a group of engineers who were familiar with the style of the lock effectively reverse engineer the lock. They showed us how they did it afterwards."
Snowf1ake222
Smoked...
"When I was in one they told us several times that the fire extinguisher is NOT part of the puzzle. They said it so many times, I'm 98% sure someone once used it lol."
Zirael_Swallow
"I always wait to see if they say not to disassemble smoke detectors, if they have that warning, I ask about it, and every time they will always have a story about a dumby who ignored the warning labels and disassembled the smoke detector."
cleverplaydoh
Group of 4
"There was a story on here a while ago about a guy in a group of four who took a broom from the first room because 'it had to be for something.' He said it looked too out of place to not be needed. Well he was half right. It was out of place but that's because it was the broom used by employees to clean the room."
"It was simply forgotten when they cleaned last time. The guys giving hints thought it was hilarious that this guy carried a broom through four rooms expecting it to be the key to their escape at some point. I thought that was funny as hell."
PCCoatings
Damages...
"Take in a screwdriver and dismantling furniture or taking doors off hinges... all the while we specifically tell them not to use force and that furniture is just furniture. Though I don't care cause they gotta pay the damages. Also had some groups press our panic button cause that opens all the doors (for emergency cases)."
"So they can skip puzzles and be faster. Makes zero sense to us cause they are paying for an hour of playtime and to solve puzzles, not like the prize is reduced cause you solved less in fewer minutes. Especially since our prices aren't cheap."
karmasabitterpill
Idiots
"Breaking EVERYTHING. Trying to eat or drink things they should totally not be trying to eat or drink."
Radiant-Comb9058
Even though there are a million ways to escape, I'm still gonna pass. My claustrophobia won't allow it.

Different cultures are fascinating and add color to our world.
While many cultures should be celebrated, there are some individuals who just can't help but reserve their opinions about those whose behavior and customs differ vastly from their own.
At the risk of coming off as offensive, some might even call these customs, "weird."
European culture got the spotlight when Redditor CoffeeBoy88 asked:
"What is something weird about Europe that Europeans don’t realize is weird?"

Apparently, there's never a dull moment in European nations.

All About Respect

I remember being weirded out when I went to Paris and asked for some ice at a cafe.
The waiter served me coke by opening the room temperature can and poured some of the contents into an empty glass. With no ice.
When the server came back, he had with him a spoon with one ice cube on it. I thought it was stingy but it got worse.
He poured the rest of the coke over the ice on the spoon he was holding and then walked away with the ice and spoon.
I guess the coke was colder than when I had my first sip, so according to the server, it was viola: mission accomplished!
Do the French not like ice-cold beverages? Weird.

Just because a therapist is there to expertly evaluate our emotional challenges throughout many of life's adversities and crises, it doesn't mean they always hold it together.
People tend to forget that therapists–the professional we seek for guidance when we're vulnerable–are also human and are just as prone to feeling the feels.
Curious to hear from therapists who've exposed their emotional vulnerabilities in front of their clients opened up when Redditor Unkw0n_pers0n asked:
"Therapist that have cried in a session, why?"

A patient who feels seen and understood reinforces why therapists endeavor to help people in the first place.
It Wasn't Her Fault
"I was working with a deeply depressed client who had a lot of negative self talk about how she was always a failure. We were exploring the origins of this and how young she was the first time she felt self-blame. She told me her earliest story of when she was in 2nd grade."
"Afterwards, as we were processing it, I expressed that 'it wasn't your fault' about the story. She just broke down sobbing and said 'nobody has ever said that to me before' in between sobs. It hit me and I cried a little."
– Ayzmo
Relatable Experience
"i cried after i worked with a kid who described an emotionally difficult situation with a sibling. the kid’s experience aligned very similarly to something i went through with my own sibling when i was the kid’s age and i hadn’t realized how much hurt i was carrying from the experience."
"being a therapist sometimes means being confronted with things you didn’t realize had such a strong impact on you. luckily, i have a stellar therapist of my own that i can work through these moments with."
– rejecteddroid
The Patient With A Disorder
"I was doing a cognitive assessment for a girl. We were doing tests and at one point she started crying she was unable to tell me why, she was fine just one moment before. I let her collect her thoughts, then she said softly 'I don't want to be more stupid than my friends'. She wasn't actually, she was very bright, but she didn't know that she has dyslexia, dysorthograpy AND dyscalculia. I realized that she went through THIRTEEN years of school without help. Her parents didn't want to do an assessment as they thought she was just lazy. I told her that she was very brave to decide to get help and things would get better after our assessment and I felt tears in my eyes."
"Edit: first of all, I have great empathy for parents, for most of all is just a matter of ignorance, fear and parenting is hard. If you are a parent and you see your kid struggling, PLEASE listen to professionists, we are here to help, not judge, and we will find ways to help you and your kid. Disorders don't go away, don't underestimate it, the sooner you get help, the better the outcome can be. It's ok to be scared but we're here for you and we understand you."
"Second, I'm really sorry to read so many heartbreaking stories about people that weren't believed and struggled being undiagnosed. I wish you all the best, I hope you are in a better situation and you got or you'll get all the help you deserve, because you do deserve it."
"Third, if you think 'something's wrong with me', get help if you are in a position to do so. Worst case you understand yourself better and have a chance do make peace with parts of yourself."
– ---honeybadger----
A patient who has already accepted their heartbreaking fate recalls seeing their therapist getting emotionally involved during a session.
A Mother Who Didn't Want To Let Go
"My therapist cried while 'mediating' a discussion between my mom and I. I have a neurodegenerative disease and she is my full time caregiver. Because of my severe disability, she also has legal guardianship of me, even though I am in my 20’s (this is all fine with me, I need the help, and I agreed in court to all of it. This was the first true 'disagreement' that we ever had.)"
"I am ready to die. I am in pain, unable to do anything for myself, and it’s only getting worse. I asked my mom to sign a DNR, because I have been resuscitated before, it was a mess, and I don’t want it to happen again."
"She refused. She doesn’t want to lose her child and wanted to do everything medically possible to keep me alive."
"The session was essentially me begging her to let me go, while she sobbed and said she could never sign a paper that would lead to my death. It was a terrible situation. No one was 'the bad guy', no one was trying to hurt the other. It was someone wanting their suffering to end, verses a mother not wanting to lose her child."
"My therapist agreed that I should be allowed to make this choice, but certainly didn’t think my mom was manipulative or evil, just already grieving and trying to hold on to me as long as possible. I saw her wipe her eyes several times, and they were red by the time we were done. She actually hugged us both at the end."
"The situation wasn’t resolved during the session, but my mom came around shortly after. She wouldn’t sign the DNR, but gave me legal permission to do so (so, in her mind, it wasn’t her making the final decision.)"
"BTW, my mom and I have a GREAT relationship! This was just one issue that we couldn’t come to an agreement on ourselves. But it worked out, and I’m now in palliative care and have a great team looking after me, INCLUDING my mom!"
– fightwithgrace
The following examples continue to demonstrate how therapists are more emotionally invested in their patients and clients than you think.
Responding To Tragic News
"I cried in a substance treatment group. A client’s mom had reached out via email to me to say that her daughter died from an OD. She called during my group so I chose to take the call and spoke with her briefly. I thought I could continue with the group. Ended up in tears instead."
– ChicagoOwls
She Patient Who Felt Unloved
"My patient cried and said 'there's nobody on this planet who loves me anymore.' I cried when I left because I knew she was right. For context: she was 95, her husband and son had died, she had a personality disorder that made her behaviour unbearable for her environment after her husband died and every person still in her life were paid for to be around her. She died a few months after this conversation."
It is unsurprising that therapists are compassionate people.
Otherwise, they wouldn't be in the room to help someone who is struggling internally.

Much of the nation continues to reel from the news that a leaked draft opinion indicated the Supreme Court's ruling on Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization will move to strike down Roe v. Wade, the 1973 landmark decision that protects a person's right to choose reproductive healthcare without excessive government restriction.
Many people remember what it was like in the days before women could seek an abortion; many innocent women died in the absence of proper medical care or were forced to birth children they could not afford, trapping them in poverty.
But could a ruling overturning Roe v. Wade signal the loss of other rights in the future, especially those decided on the right to privacy, on which Roe was hinged?
People shared their thoughts with us after Redditor thisiscubes asked the online community,
"Americans of Reddit, what are your thoughts on Roe v. Wade being overturned by SCOTUS as per draft reports?"
"It was the single most traumatizing..."
"I used to be pro-life for the most part but felt abortion was necessary in certain situations (i.e. rape, incest, whatever). I thought I would have never had an abortion myself. I thought I could always give up the baby for adoption."
"Until I gave birth last month. It was the single most traumatizing experience I've ever gone through. I'm healthy and my pregnancy was not complicated but my heart stopped working after getting an epidural. I coded."
"Once they got me stabilized again, my baby then starting decompensating. They literally had to rip him out of me because I was too far along to convert to C-section."
"I still can't control feces leaking out of me, even 6 weeks later. What a quality of life improvement /s."
"I wanted this child so having my body absolutely wrecked for the safety of my child seemed worth it, despite the pain and complications I experienced from it."
"But now, having gone through that, I cannot imagine any woman being FORCED to go through what I went through. Against their will. So I’m pretty pro choice now."
tensorfascialatte
We are so sorry you had to go through that. We agree that giving birth can be harmful and traumatic, even for a wanted child, and no woman should have to go through that.
"I am currently..."
"I am currently in an OB triage hospital room waiting for a shot of methotrexate, which is considered an abortion."
"This pregnancy was so wanted. I had a miscarriage in February. I wanted this baby. But it is ectopic and it will kill me. And I am still crying so hard."
"My doctors have been amazing and caring and made this process so much easier. F*ck anyone who thinks the legal system needs to be involved here."
DuckDuckBangBang
We are so sorry you have to go through that. It’s none of the government’s business.
"Roe wasn't the start of abortions. It was the end of women dying from abortion."
badhmorrigan
We can't clap enough for this one.
"Get our your wallets..."
"You think our social services are overwhelmed now. Get out your wallets because there is about to be a generation of babies born where moms won't have the means to feed, clothe, and care for them."
milk2317
Sadly, this is all too true. It is a crisis in the making.
"My cousin had to terminate..."
"I had an abortion at 21 that saved my life. It was a terrifying and isolating experience, and the best decision I have ever made."
"My cousin had to terminate her pregnancy in the second trimester due to the fact that the fetus developed without a brain. She described the care she received as what kept her alive through her grief."
"If abortion was not an option, she would have had to carry to term."
I’m sick to my stomach over this. Women, especially women of color, are going to die."
kates6666
Sadly, the statistics are on your side on this. Many women, especially women of color, are going to die, and many children will grow up impoverished.
"Scared."
"Scared. I work with survivors of sexual violence. I am a survivor myself. I, and many other folks, have had our bodily autonomy stolen from us before. To see it on a federal level is horrifying."
ParticularAd2645
It is indeed frightening and survivors of sexual violence no doubt feel victimized alll over again.
"My daughter will never have..."
"As a woman, I will be legally lesser than males because I have a womb. My daughter will never have full autonomy over her body. Intersectionally speaking, women of color and under resourced women will bear the brunt of this. Nothing will change for white women of means."
LadyOfTheOddNight
White women of means can fly wherever they wish and get an abortion there. That will never change.
"The foster care system is proof the government doesn’t care about unwanted children yet want to force more to be born. It’s all politics though guarantee if any of them ever got in a sticky situation illegal or not an abortion will be had available."
jessiealabama
The United States' welfare system is also awful and that seems to be by design.
"My wife had a miscarriage last year. Because we were well past the point of most miscarriages (not quite to the stillbirth cutoff, but not far away), we were told the odds of my wife passing the fetus on her own were slim and that surgery was the safest option."
"We were required by law to acknowledge in writing that the procedure would terminate the (dead) fetus and that it came at risk of infertility and death. Our doctor was required to tell us the developmental age of the (dead) fetus and which developmental milestones occur around that time, as well as offer us an ultrasound to see the (dead) fetus."
"We cried the entire time. We desperately wanted this child. Our doctor cried, apologizing every step of the way that we had to go through this insensitive BS on top of losing the pregnancy."
"This fetus was dead in every sense of the word but because the procedure in question is also used for abortions we had to jump through these goddamn hoops to avoid putting my wife's health at risk."
"And it's not like my state doesn't offer alternatives for nonviable fetuses, conception due to rape or incest, or instances where health is at serious risk. This WAS the alternative. If we were actually getting an elective abortion it would have been significantly more time consuming and soul-crushing. You literally have to take an online course."
"Abortion access in this country is already a joke. All this is going to do is get people killed."
broganism
This is a heartbreaking story and we are sorry that you and your wife had to go through that.
As you can see, overturning Roe v. Wade has significant consequences. While the actual opinion will not be released until the summer, it's safe to say that the United States is entering a new era and that an entirely new wave of activism has begun.
