I accepted a full time job at this small business but a few red flags started cropping up (I’m in the UK for some context). The company culture was really bad and most of the team had worked there a very long time and were very hostile towards new joiners (lots of snarky emails and 50-60 year old men gossiping behind your back). The company director was rude and condescending to me everytime I spoke to him (and I tried really hard, maybe too hard, to be nice lol).

One of the things I found so strange was that they refuse to give you a contract. ever. I asked about this further and they said “your offer can be considered your contract, I guess.” - staff who had worked there 20+ years had no contracts.

So yeah I worked with them for 6 weeks before handing my notice in 🤷‍♀️ and this was sent out to the office. I don’t know who the f Ian is and I don’t have any job interviews/offers “in the city” (nor do I want to work there!).

I actually left to be unemployed while I start looking for a new job because the place was that bad…

The manager who sent this out has viewed my LinkedIn page every day since I left (2+ weeks ago now…)
