Hiring Managers Talking About Their Interview ‘Red Flags’ Turns Out To Be Full Of Reasons No One Should Work For Them

The idea that nobody wants to work anymore following the government handing out $1200 over a year ago while we were in the middle of a pandemic (which still hasn’t ended) has been pushed back on time and time again. People want to work, it’s just that nobody wants to devote their lives to crappy jobs for crappy wages and inept, obnoxious employers. 

A recent Twitter thread in which the people who do the hiring for their companies talk about their most unique “red flags” when looking at applicants is serving as yet another reminder that a lot of corporate culture and bosses downright suck, and it’s no wonder potential employees aren’t bending over backward to secure jobs for these people.

If anything, a thread calling this thread out for being terrible wound up getting more play, as people raised valid concerns about those in charge.

However, there were a whopping two good answers to the original question.

Isn’t this society we’ve built over thousands of years great?
