Today was the third time this week my boss used the phrase we’re a family here to justify asking me to work through the weekend. My actual family is the reason I want to go home and stop working. I'm starting to realize that the more a company emphasizes their culture, the more toxic it usually is underneath. What are some other corporate buzzwords that are immediate red flags for you?

I’ve been seeing “need someone who is scrappy/gritty” in job posts lately. That is a big red flag to me. Usually means they will give you no tools or support and expect you to figure it out.

Any time a company refers to employees as “family,” it’s a red flag for me. At the end of the day, a workplace is still a business. When layoffs or cuts happen, it becomes clear that the relationship isn’t the same as family. The word "grind" is also a corporate red flag for me.

It’s never a family in the work

I don’t know yet what to do exactly, but I know I just don’t want to be only writing code every day.
Tbh, I am scared. But I have set myself one year to learn something new.
I also want to go for a job that pays more (55k€ currently). I live in Paris, France, and software developers are not well paid.
Any suggestion for a career transition?
