What are red flags to look for at your company?

I've recently joined this team, and the vibe amongst everyone doesn't feel the most positive. Everyone is negative about the company and the direction it is going.

Did I make a mistake taking this role? Do I start looking for something else?

Sounds like you took over my previous role lol. But in all honestly I would say keep your options open but also remember how tough the job market is. So, if things are okay for you right now, stick it out.

If you feel like the vibes are off or whatever then maybe it’s not a bad idea to see what else is out there. Do you know why the person who was in your role before you left?

Why the heck do Recruiters and Hiring managers do such a poor job keeping applicants informed to the status. I had my time wasted with an opportunity for a fortune 100 position for 3 1/2 months. Phone Screens, Zoom Interview with hiring manager, Face to face with hiring manager. (Then asked for professional references) , impromptu Zoom meet with other leader who was completely disengaged. Then boom... six weeks of silence vague texts from hiring manager they were still going thru the process..

Has anyone had a Manager that does not work well with your ADHD? Im going through this right now and the way they communicate doesn’t match what I need. If I ask questions, they huff and puff. But then get upset if something is done and it doesn’t meet their exact expectations. It’s sucks that I don’t have enough interest to continuously focus on the projects, but now I have even less motivation because I dread dealing with my manager.
