A joined relatively new Adtech company and within the first three weeks I have discovered that the majority of my coworkers are my bosses college friends 🤢🤢 after taking a closer look at my team all of the people with higher titles are his direct friends. My boss is showing extreme favouritism for his college friends in which he regularly gives out kudos to them and set ups meetings with him about potential promotions . The WORST thing about this situation is that the Product manager is his wife and she is an absolute micro manager 😤😤 I get super uncomfortable sitting in the same meeting with them both - I feel like I’m about to like puke because they start talking about their future wedding plans. I started about 8 months ago in this company how soon can I jump ship ??? TC : 200k
You can jump now! I started interviewing after 9months.
Recruiters want to know why I’m leaving so soon, any insights ?
This place and role isn't what I had expected. They are going through a transition and it's goals do not align with mine
start interviewing, you already listed a ton of red flags
Don’t be a whiny virgin. Be a sigma male and make her your girl friend.
Why can I hear Sergio Valentino - Drive Forever
Dark desires
How small is the company?
It’s a global company with over 1k employees worldwide. Shocking ??! I know
If a place makes you unhappy, then you should start looking for something else.
Ever heard of the PayPal mafia? It's the same thing. The referral process in every company also favors hiring of school friends.
Boss prefers his friends because he knows he can trust them. Try to become his friend
There is absolutely nothing corrupt about any of this. If it's their company they're free to hire anyone they like. If I were to start a company I'd also hire people I personally know, i.e, college mates.
I would say it is corrupt because boss has only promoted his friends within the entire org. Also it’s not their company this is a F500 company
Why would a husband and wife discuss future wedding plan? Are not they already wedded?
They are planning to marry other people
What? They are going to divorce and then marry someone else? N they discuss this in office?
Leave now? Why wait. If you want to wait for one year mark, it is only four month away.
Then how should I explain myself to recruiters that ask why I’m leaving so soon?
