So I got a job offer with minimal PTO and the hiring manager said it’s company policy they can’t do more. But then said he’s ok with me not putting it in the system so I can take more days. These seems like 🚩 but am I overthinking it?

Seems like a red flag to me too mostly because if you do take extra time off on a verbal agreement with your manager and then down the road manager changes things/needs a reason to fire you/etc, it could come back to bite you.

AE1 hit the nail on the head. That verbal agreement is only binding if the hiring manager sticks to it, which they have no reason to. I wouldn't agree to anything that isn't in writing, as that seems like a loophole they could easily use to let you go if they wanted to.

like

Sucks because it could be a genuine offer to do whatever you need to do (and I've had jobs where I did things like what's described here). But yeah if it ever comes down to getting written up, you don't have a leg to stand on. If this is the only job offer you have maybe take it for now but play it safe until you feel the offer is sincere.

Ask the hiring manager - "you cool putting that in an email?".

How much PTO? Seems like a red flag to me.

More so, I’m finding it hard to just keep my head down and focus on what I’m bringing to the table when I see people delivering sloppy work and phoning it in as I’m pushing to be super buttoned up.

P.s my final interview is with my current manager who is NOT in charge of the new department… he also told me he didn’t think I was ready for the change when I initially told him I was making a move. Let’s see how it goes!
