Job searching can be like dating, and like dating, certain “red flags” might stand out, causing a prospect to turn into a hard pass. While these red flags (certain behaviors or practices that can signal a warning sign of an unfavorable environment) can vary from person to person, some hold significantly more weight than others.
A new report from job site Monster surveyed over 6,000 workers and found that 73% said “micromanagement” is the biggest workplace red flag, with nearly half (46%) saying it would be a reason to leave a job.
A close second was “favoritism” (72%) as the biggest red flag, followed by jobs that require more than three rounds of interviews (65%).
