Observe the employees. Is the office full after 5 - 6 PM? Is everyone looking at the floor when the boss walk in? Is everyone's nails bitten to a bloody mess?

Observe the employees.
Is the office full after 5 - 6 PM? Is everyone looking at the floor when the boss walk in? Is everyone's nails bitten to a bloody mess? Are there any female employees? Are the desk too clean and absent of personal items?
- cobralibre 10y agoDo the employees hide their flasks in their desks and sip furtively and alone? Do they cry in the restroom before or after meetings? Is it a Dilbert cartoon on the fridge or is it XKCD? Are the only Pokémon to be found Rattatas? What is going on with the coffee?
- mjevans 10y agoHow far away is the nearest gym? Are there even any 'stops where you might meet others for lunch? Pretty much, what is the density of the tech-aware crowd in that area? Another good one: are the near by ash trays in use? If you're a non-smoker (like me) this is a red flag too.
- dajohnson89 10y agoJust curious -- why is evidence of tobacco use a red flag to you?

- rb2k_ 10y agoI like my desk clean and absent of personal items :(
- BurningFrog 10y agoI FOUND THE PROBLEM EMPLOYEE!
- lawl 10y agoi downvoted you, because this isn't reddit.
- BurningFrog 10y ago(...maybe i'm the real problem after all...)
- sumedh 10y ago> Are there any female employees? Not sure if this a good enough criteria, sometimes you just dont find good female techies.
