'I don't believe in vacation': 30+ Interviewees who spotted red flags at the workplace and ran the other direction

Don't miss these waving red flags during your next job interview. It just might save you from wasting your time at a job that treats you terribly!

One time, I went to a job interview that seemed a smidgen suspicious. The interviewer gave me the wrong interview time — midnight instead of noon — but I thought maybe it was just a chance for me to prove that I had a sharp eye for catching errors. Then, after the actual interview (at noon, not midnight), the place hired me within about twenty minutes of talking to me! I wasn't even home from the interview before I'd already been offered the gig. But of course, when you're in between jobs and a little desperate to take any role you find, it's tempting to overlook the red flags right in front of your face.

These people below answered the question, "What are subtle red flags at a job interview that say, 'Working here would suck'?" Some people had obvious answers, like high turnover rates or noticing if the interviewer looks miserable. And others had more subtle ways of noticing if a place is a good fit, like observing the employees or asking about vacation time or work hours.

Check out all the answers below. Then, upon finding out that the next door neighbors were whining about their pool, this person decided to paint their pool green, entirely out of spite.
