[Job-Discussions] Fwd: 6 Signs of a Dysfunctional Workplace You Can Spot at the Interview | by Elaine | Curated Careers | May, 2021 | Medium

[Jen]

Here’s another example of potential toxicity. It didn’t happen at the interview but during the medical transcription internship.

 

I was told to take holidays off.

 

But when I took Memorial Day off, my supervisor scolded me for taking it off and asked me why I didn’t work on Memorial Day. I was just honest and told them. Later, it was clarified to me I was to work on holidays from now on. And I never made that mistake again.

 

I know what happened isn’t the same as shifty eyes, which I can’t speak to. But it’s still bad communication. And when an employee is told to do two separate things at the same time, it’s highly unfair.

Jen,

That is not only toxic, but very stupid today. I always remind employers to acknowledge resumes. Some still think it is the Reagan era, where you can treat job seekers any way they please. If they are that discourteous, dump them.

Dick,

This is definitely a good thing to think about.  I had some of the things mentioned in here happen during a few of the jobs interviews I have had in the past few months,and needless to say, I moved on and am continuing job hunting.
