Paychecks come once a month
But the their culture is everyday
Finding a place that values you is just as important as salary
Here’s 8 signs your company won’t put you first
1. Values disconnect
↳ Leaders talk about company principles but consistently act against them.
↳ What’s celebrated in public meetings isn’t rewarded in practice.
2. Feedback vacuum
↳ Employee input disappears without acknowledgment or implementation.
↳ The same problems persist despite repeated suggestions for improvement.
3. Toxic tolerance
↳ Bad behavior from certain employees continues without consequences.
↳ Different standards apply based on position or relationship with leadership.
4. Resource scarcity
↳ You’re expected to deliver results without necessary tools or training.
↳ Requests for essential support are consistently deferred or denied.
5. Compensation gaps
↳ Your pay falls below market rate despite strong performance.
↳ Recognition comes as verbal praise rather than tangible rewards.
6. Boundary erosion
↳ After-hours communications and weekend work become expected norms.
↳ Time off requests face scrutiny or subtle pressure to cancel.
7. Growth ceiling
↳ Advancement discussions remain vague despite consistent performance.
↳ Training and development opportunities aren’t supported or encouraged.
8. Values as decoration
↳ Company mission statements appear on walls but not in decisions.
↳ Business priorities regularly override stated principles without explanation.
