In the light of the current trending Topic #horrible bosses on social media, I would love to give my take on how to spot red flags at workplaces before or during job interviews from my perspective as a Lawyer and Human capital manager.

1.Superfluous and Vague Job Descriptions: Personally,writing a job description for a job advert is usually to attract someone who can perform those duties to the best of their given abilities and qualifications. But when a job description begins to mention buzzwords like "do you get angry or upset when you lose a simple game with friends? Hated being in any other position than First position? Competed with siblings and friends on everything growing up? Good!!! we want you as our sales executive. Send In your applications to......"
Now this sounds fun and really catchy but if you look at it thoroughly,it is a pointer of a toxic workplace some of the times. As vague as the job description sounds, that is how your work roles duties are bound to become on starting the job.
You want to apply for a job with a specified job description and possibly specific SOP on resumption to work.

2. The Interview is Riddled with an Unclear picture of the Job rolea nd Work Environment : I would keep saying this, an interview is the portal to see everything you would be doing in the prospective organisation. Infact, it is called an interview because the employer and prospective employee are looking to see if they would be a great fit for the organisation.
While interviewing, ask questions about the organisation; about their work culture, their salary structure and frequency, talk about rewards, pension and hmo, and even their employee turn over rate. Dont be shy, I like bold interviewees.
It is bad enough when the hiring manager cannot even explain the responsibilities of the role to you and when finally employed, you would find yourself being the Receptionist, Accountant, Cleaner, Security guard and then the main role you were employed for, Graphic designer and God help you, you find out the employer hires and fires at will.
However,I understand the employer may not be truthful as to the turnover rate in organizational work culture. So do yourself a favour and go on LinkedIn, twitter, Facebook or Glassdoor, hunt down former amd current employees and ask for honest feedback as to the employee turnover rate and work culture.

3. The Employment contract: I have an acquaintance that gets paid her monthly salary on the third week of the next month. I mean, it was written in her employment letter and she signed on it in desperation.
I would advise that when given an offer letter and an employment contract which you should have within 2 weeks of your employment, be read thoroughly or given to a lawyer to read through and explained to you. You would be surprised the kind of clauses and words that could and would alter an original agreement without an unlearned eye noticing it.
In your employment contract, these following terms should be contained with no exception but not expansively mentioned:
a) Terms and duties of your contract, with your exact Job title in bold.
b)Remuneration and benefits
c) Work hours in bold. If there is overtime, it should be written and if its paid or unpaid, it should also be written.
d) Leave and (maternity leaves for females)
e) Probation.
f) Termination and notice, make sure it has a notice period and a right to terminate from both parties with salary in lieu of notice and other compensation benefits.
e) Anti slavery and Sexual Assault policy.

Note: your contract can be negotiated and should be negotiable. And if it helps, mention to the hiring manager your desire to give your employment contract to your lawyer to look through. It helps notify the employer of legal cover. If you know what I mean.

4.Pray to whatever you believe,that you don't get employed by a demon boss and if you have already trapped, plan your exit and run for your life!!

I didn't want this to be a boring read, please everyone can input on red flags at Job places,or job interviews and how to avoid them?

BTW, I'm a corporate lawyer with experience in Corporate practice, contracts(real estate contracts, probate administration included) and Human Resource management. My dm is open for business only. Thank you.

Nigerian workers are terrible, they are specialists in running businesses aground.

They deserve whatever they get from your "toxic workplace"

there is Madness in his(putting and his generals) demilitarizing and denazifing Ukraine .
who told him(putting) that Ukerain is interested in demilitarize and denazify(flushing nazi people).
let him(puting) Derussiarize those area of Ukraine where Russians live.
Nonsense , demilitarise, denazify and ingredients .

I think the next agenda of NATO is to de-puttinize Russia

How do they declare war on a country..
By playing drums and dancing..
You are a f%l.
Do you even know what the word Nazi is.. Just because Putin a madman said you are in Nigeria showcasing your dumbness.
The Nazi regime was a systematic killings of ethnic minorities mainly the Jews.. They are more Jews in Ukraine than any county in esterner Europe.
Even the president is Jewish.. If you have to say something think..

...in another sovereign Nation? Wish you can say the same if same scenario plays out between Nigeria Vs Biafra, with Russia backing Biafra!

Ukraine can never be sovereign

They'll always be under Russia's sphere of influence.

It is what it is

POSmecrhant:
I have this new neighbor that packed in last three months, that talk to people anyhow. But he feels it's a normal conversation.

Over the weekend I was cleaning my house and my car, only for him to tell me I clean my car too much. And was saying other nasty things and was laughing thinking is a normal thing.

There's no single day that i will wash my car that this guy will not say this to me, how I valued my car more than my life.

Normally, this guy can not look me with straight face and be telling me this kind of nonsense if I didn't create this kind of familiarity with him in the first place.

How can i avoid this guy in a matured manner so that he won't even decode I'm avoiding him?

Putin has confirmed everyone's perception of the Russian military. In a conventional war without nukes, they are weak. That's why with any provocation they threaten nuclear war like cowards, knowing that an outright nuclear war is a suicide attempt that will annihilate Russia and sadly the rest of the world.

[/s]

Russia never declared war on Ukraine

Their objective is demilitarise and denazify, which is exactly what they're doing...

[s]

sapientia:
If it was USA that voiced this concern, Putin Fan bots will start ranting that they are afraid of paranoid Putin

Oga Sergei, this can be avoided if Russia go back to their country

If Poland propose it and NATO adopts it, UN will back it

Only 2 options can stop that

1. NATO to disagree which I believe will be the answer

2. Russia pulling back to their country

Putin should jettison the idea of old Russian empire that was actually created by invasion and annexation.

PIPPROF:
Make una learn how to trade or save in usdt

Do any of the following

Open a binance crypto account
1
Get a mentor for guidance
Buy coins with potential and keep

2 you can use automated trading exchnages if you cant trade and earn gradually

3. Change your naira to usdt and save on binance or kucoin better than keeping depreciating naira


4. You can buy propert6 and keep of you dont have immediate use for the millions

Note any naira investment paying 15 to 20% per annum is not an investment but ignorance, cause inflation does not favour long term naira invesgments

Avoid all these facebook and pastor led investments companies. They always have story after a while

Avoid agri tech scams
Forex and crypto investment scams (DIY)

The moment I saw binance in your post I know you are a noob



Only a noob keeps funds in binance or any CEX for that matter

EastisBae:
Unfortunately, there is no limit to the endurance of Nigerians, you will hear them saying "we will survive" "we will manage" bla bla bla. I have not seen a country where its people celebrate suffering like Nigerians. If others should experience just 10% of what Nigerians are passing through, they will go on a massive protest but these sufferheads will rather complain to God and die silence.

How about "this too shall pass", there are many more where this came from

Bigredmachine:
Well this is by your own standard... And since it
is only he (death) who has the power to end it all (life) it's safe to say death owns the life we re all living...

So therefore death borrowed us all the life

Your life you mean, not mine

Bigredmachine:
No need to cherish luxuries cause everything will come and go... Even the life that you have is borrowed, you are not promised tomorrow...

Anyway contentment is key folks, make I comot eye for army man salary

No life is borrowed.

The life I live belongs to me and no one else.

Death ends it all, same with everyone else

Yea...I agree with u man!

Umahi also defected and he's now ex governor

She ain't a lesbian she's bisexual.. stop that nonsense.. lesbians don't do guys..
Actually there is nothing wrong with her being bisexual...the problem is she should have told you about it..

Talk to her about it and stop being overly emotional.. she's just being herself.. help her out.. have a one on one conversation and stop feeling bad..

Donaluta:
US air strike was targeted at terrorist in Iraq .. but Putin is invading a sovereign country... So what are you trying to say

Who labelled them terrorists?

I guess slave chains are still hanging around your neck and you can't see past whatever your slave masters says.

In Ukraine they're called "resistance" but in Afghanistan and Iraq they call them terrorists.

Wake up dude

The sack came quick like the speed of sound

CSTRR:
It's insane.

No wonder why every economic indices in this country is tending to the negative.

The small money that Nigeria is making is being looted wholesale.

Instead of the moronic citizens to get someone like Peter obi in to reset the system, they are looking for a tinubu or atiku.

Una no well for dis country.

Am glad you're not just denouncing those senior disasters, you are equally offering real alternatives.

Way to go

Redstorm:
I see that a lot of people take pride in addressing or introducing themselves using their job titles, for example like Pharmacist John, Nurse Grace, Builder Idris, Architect Biodun, Barrister Okoye etc, instead of just Mr. X or Mrs. Y. The most annoying is the ubiquitous title Engr. used by every tom, dick and harry who knows just a little about a certain technical vocation.

When I compare this to what obtains abroad (Europe and America) I notice that the only common job titles in use over there are Dr. and Prof. I've seen a full American professor address himself simply as Dr. (something that will never happen in Nigeria). And they are supposed to have more technical know-how than us, right? Yet they don't flaunt their job titles. So why is our own different?

Edipet:
We have alot of people who feels worried and depressed staying at home on a Monday morning especially the unemployed persons. There are some people who works on shift but once their work time is not on Monday morning the feel the same as the unemployed, some people also hate public holidays that coincide on Monday.
Do you feel bad when you are not at work or at your business place on Monday?

alexxiswrites:
I can tell you this for free: IT'S DAMN HARD!

Even though I freelance most times, there's this culture of going out to work or hustle we Nigerians are born with. It's a cultural or societal thing. Even if you're making legit millions indoors, deep inside you'd feel kinda low for staying indoors especially on a Monday morning. What's more, some ill-informed neighbors will think you're lazy or into yahoo.
