Great comment. I’d love to learn your thought process behind this part:
> As a final thought, a boss (or company!) who creates feelings of “just wait, it will be better when ___” is probably abusive. If you feel that way before starting, tread very carefully and be very observant.
- zwkrt 5y agoAssuaging peoples concerns about the present by promising a better future is ok in the short term, but I tend to see it as a long-term pattern of some managers. Stringing people along for a nonexistent promotion, letting on-call remain bad because next quarter we will have enough time to fix it (we won’t), that sort of thing. I say “abusive” but maybe “manipulative” is better.
