Believe it or not, I scammed this off of USA/Today.
Signs of a troubled workplace.
1. Lack of personal photos on desks-only motivational images of rowers and bears catching salmon
2. Droopy eyelids obscuring the whites of the workers’ eyes
3. Multiple sandwiches (partially eaten) and cans of soda at workstations
4. Employees sleeping, doodling, or fist-fighting at meetings
5. Employees with their foreheads on their desks, fists pounding the desktops
6. Outdated or no-longer-manufactured candy in the vending machine
7. Brown water in the cooler
8. Flickering or humming fluorescent lights
9. Music playing through speakers in the ceiling
10. “Warning: Hazardous Waste” signs
11. Groups of workers whispering
12. Individual workers whispering to themselves
13. Groups of workers silently praying
14. Office layout based on slave ship rather than feng shui
15. Carpet stains that could be coffee, could be blood
If you observe three or more of the above danger signs, you may have discovered a nightmare workplace
