If you were caught off guard (and wouldn't mind sharing) what was an anecdote that in retrospect you realized was an obvious red flag?

- bungie4 9y ago5 months prior being offered to relo to another city within the same company - and nobody else was. At the time, I was looking after my mom who had cancer. My manager, without saying anything, was trying to help me. I declined as moving her would have meant undo hardship (doctors etc). He pressured me hard to take it though. I went on vacation for a two week motorcycle trip (my gf was looking after mom, giving me a break, god bless her!) and logged into FB to find all my co-workers had been terminated. I received no notice, so I continued on my vacation. Upon return, I went to work as expected only to find myself locked out. Hindsight. My manager was a class guy and knew what I was going through and tried his best to help me while honouring his commitments to the company.
- wand3r 9y agoThanks that's I interesting. A manager pushing some odd agenda w/o much reason is expected; but if you respect him/her and observe a few other signs then it might be a life boat in disguise.
