Thinking about quitting your job? It may be the right move if you boss uses any of these toxic "red flag" phrases, says former Google recruiter Nolan Church.
I’m reminded of this guy I fired after he ghosted me when he no-call-no-showed.
“Wait? You don’t treat everyone like family?”
“No. I treat everyone like employees.” The look on his face was kinda priceless.
(For the record, I do try to take care of my employees, and the minimum there is paying what they’re worth- but the relationship is definitely employer-employee. The relationship is inherently transactional; pretending otherwise is exploitation)
