I know this website discusses vetting for romantic partners, but right now I'm struggling with finding the right employer.
My current workplace is pushing my boundaries right now and they don't support me learning important skills for my career development. Also red flags in how people treat each other. I know work is different than dating because we need to have a job in order to financially support ourselves, while we don't necessarily need a boyfriend for that (we did historically, but times have changed). So the issue is that at work, I feel obligated to tolerate worse treatment than I believe I deserve because I still need my paycheck at the end of the day. I can't just walk away until I've lined up another option.
I am shopping around for new jobs. I'm wondering if there are any useful vetting tips anybody had for employers and how well they treat their staff.
I have an interview coming up with a company with terrible online reviews from former employees. I plan on politely asking the employer if they would like to address those reviews, and paying very close attention to their response to my question.
