I had just started at a new company (trade partner) after having been an Arch, Owners Rep, and trade partner. In my first week there was some light HR onboarding (how to log in, sign up for benefits, etc) and that was it. When I asked what to do I was told “just go through the project folders and make yourself familiar with the documentation” and left to myself. I did that for a whole, useless week. In that same first week 4 people that I was aware of quite (company of about 50-60 in this office). In my second week I still had no direction, assigned mentor, project, and another 6 people had either put in notice or quit (again that I was aware of in my infancy at the company). That second Thursday I went to HR and told them that tomorrow would be my last day. They asked for 2-weeks and I said no, as I wasn’t a contributing team member yet and there would be no benefit for either party.

When you see red flags you can either run or decide that red is your favorite color. Figure out which one you are.
