These 30 People Shared Red Flags In Job Descriptions And They Are Eye-Opening

"Job hunt" is just a politically correct term for a cutthroat survival game. You have rent and bills to pay, a family to support, and you are just looking for a place where you won't have to suffer too much to earn the money you need.

You are merely choosing the lesser of all evils. Of course, there are those lucky few who actually enjoy their jobs, but that dream job usually comes after years of searching and working lousy jobs for people with questionable human qualities.

Being selected at a job interview is just one small victory, followed by a series of difficult battles. You're battling a heavy workload, unreasonable job demands, lousy bosses, and coworkers who are just as nervous as you are.

Of course, no one will tell you all that at the job interview, so you will have to learn to distinguish those little signs that indicate the beautiful job ad is actually a flagrant lie.

@bocxtop posted on Twitter that "When you get hired, and your boss is like 'this isn't just a job, it's a family,' you are about to have the WORST experience of your life," and it encouraged people to share their experiences and red flags. Take a look; maybe you will recognize some of them.

Sometimes it is difficult to recognize a toxic workplace because they are all toxic in different ways. Additionally, toxic people are very good at hiding their true personalities in the beginning.

So the important thing is to run like hell as soon as you notice the first signs. Don’t waste your time there; things are not going to improve.

The only thing that can happen is that you will get used to the situation, which basically means you have conformed and become the same. And you don’t want to be like that…

Do you really want to be featured in stories like these? We don't think so...
