I keep thinking about a place I used to work (damn, they're not out of business yet!). When I started I could see that it wouldn't last, besides the just plain weird 'vibe' of the place. There were all sorts of hints and if I can catch on to them it's pretty obvious.
My list of bad signs for a job
- There's no time clock because the office manager is too lazy to figure out hours
- high turnover in a small office (like 5 different graphics people, that I *heard* about, in a 8 person office)
- using Limewire to get the software essential to the job. Yeah, not even a single copy of Photoshop installed on all five computers, just plain stealing it.
What are some other signs that the business/job isn't going to last?
