Tell me about a time HR had to solve a challenging problem.If they give a response other than an extremely detailed and thoughtful compensation process, it’s a red flag! How is compensation calculated for each role.-It’s a curveball question and how a company responds is extremely telling.Another red flag surrounding how employees are valued. Tell me about a time when you’ve promoted someone-tell me what earns upward momentum here.-Many managers have never promoted because the company does not provide upward movement.What is the company’s feedback culture? How is feedback given?-If they say something reminiscent of ‘you need to have tough skin-we don’t care about feelings here’-red flag.Tell me 3 things you love about the company culture.-If they wince or flinch or laugh uncomfortably, you know they aren’t really a fan of the culture!.Has this company ever laid employees off? If so, what did that process look like from an off-boarding perspective?-This shows whether they’ve had to deal with this kind of situation before, but also shows if they were thoughtful enough to have a plan in place.“Always ask detailed interview questions! It’s hard to know exactly what to ask to get to the bottom of… If a company will pull something like this… but here are some great starter prompts: So, if you want to avoid dead-end companies such as this, we’ve asked Eve to share some of her wisdom on red flags to look out for when applying for work. The original video is currently removed, but it lives on in the r/AntiWork subreddit where folks had a lot to say It’s up to us to incite change and the original creator who posted this video did exactly that,” said Eve. It’s likely we may never know what company this is and it’s incredibly likely that they will get away with it, as toxic companies do every single day. Hopefully, a previously laid off employee will see it and feel that they can tell us about their experience while working at a place like this, but I’m not fully hopeful that it’ll happen. “If there’s such an environment of fear, it’s unlikely that people will feel empowered to step up. Image credits: of this article, it is not known what company this is, and it seems unlikely that people will find out (at least easily, anyway) and hence unlikely that the company will face repercussions.Įve also points out that the original video has been taken down (and some googling determined that the appropriate socials are also private), which could be due to potential retaliation or possible punishment by the company. …or HR might have also been among the ghosts, which does not help the issue. HR should have also seen a problem with this, which is incredibly alarming in its own right! HR’s job is to protect employees from these sorts of aggression, but in this case, it may seem like HR believes their job is not in service of the people.” (Any manager with prior training should have seen right through this!) As such, it shows that there has been little or no sensitivity or HR training to prevent these kinds of events. “As it’s clear that this idea likely went through multiple streams before being approved, this indicates that they likely have internal favoritism where managers are promoted due to their relationships rather than their credentials. It says ‘We don’t see you as people-you are disposable… and once you’re disposed of, you’ll become our joke.’ “It’s clear that the culture is not people or happiness-centered. Image credits: asked what this move says about the company’s corporate culture, Eve elaborated that this is a blatant form of aggression against its employees. This video is exactly why the movement against corporate America and why quiet quitting should be prevalent right now.” They see us as a funny little ghost in a chair on Halloween. We are absolute punching bags and hysterical spectacles to companies. She continued: “Then it’s the joke itself. This is why we don’t make friends at work.”
You know, somebody who was laid off considered the person who thought of that joke to be a friend. It’s the ghosts on the desks of the people who they laid off. First, it’s the layoffs where companies have absolutely no repercussions for ruining people’s lives-people who have built that company-and of course, it’s the joke. Now, if you don’t see what the big deal here is, I’ll let career coach Eve of Admin & Eve (with whom Bored Panda got in touch) explain why this is wrong on multiple levels (as seen in her stitch): “This video perfectly sums up every single point I’ve ever made.
Image credits: would have been fine and dandy if not for the “name tags” plastered on each ghost, indicating names of former employees-the same ones who were laid off-and jokingly (surely in bad taste) pointing out that each one is a “ghost of employees past”.
