This is so frustratingly true… I’ve seen this play out over and over… often these people are mistakenly promoted and eventually they sink the ship.

On: When is short tenure a red flag?

[levelforge]

As a hiring manager, and a professional who worked their way up. I would add if you leave because a place is terrible… leave out what you think is terrible about your current or previous company in your new interview. Focus on the positives and your professional growth. It is almost always a red flag if someone focuses on their pain points with the previous org. After you’re hired you can for sure bring up a lesson you learned from the previous org that is related to a successful outcome you want to create with your new team.

Are you saying that one shouldn't say to their potential new manager: "Every manager I've ever had was an idiot who didn't recognize how good my ideas were?" ;-)

Obviously… if you’re that smart you would have picked me as a manager and never quit ;-)
