Would you consider it a red flag, if someone that your interested in, has hated their job for a while, but has had no success finding a new one?

[Extraterrestrial1999]

Meaning they've gone on interviews, applied to dozens of jobs, but still has had no luck

Absolutely not, as long as they find another one, before they reach their breaking point at the current one

Yeah, I would think they're not doing something right

Nope, as long as they have a job, idc

No. Because at least they're trying to change it. They're actually putting in effort and not just complaining 100% of the time. I have a lot of respect for someone who puts in work to try to get to where they want to be, even if it's hard or discouraging. It's the people who just whine and complain yet do nothing because they keep giving in to their comfort zones that I wouldn't want to bother with.

[SakuraBlossoms87]

Yes.

Because it shows that they have no ambition and are more adept at whining about life than doing anything to improve themselves. Even changing your job to part time so you can investigate other oppurunities is an improvement than sitting there crying about how much a person "hates" their job.

Furthermore this is a serious personality flaw and quite typical of people who play "victim" and blame everyone for their failures in life rather than looking in the mirror.

As such

It is a strong indication in a relationship they will be more adept at blaming their partner for issues even if they themselves are to blame rather than improving themselves.

[WhereIsMyMind]

No, I don't really like my job but it's good for me at the moment. It would be the same with someone else, if they hate their job but they're still doing it for a reason then that shows perseverance in my opinion. Just as long as they don't take out their stress on other people it's not a problem.

[Phoenix98]

No because they're at least trying to change it and going about it the right way by securing a new job before they quit their current one so they aren't unemployed.

And of course the current job market has an effect on things sometimes jobs are extremely desperate for people and sometimes they're not just depends on the flow of the market.

[WindAtMyBack]

It depends. This might actually be a plus. First, they continue working a job they don't like - as opposed to just quitting then being desperate to find a new job. Since they are working and have an income, they can take their time and be highly selective when looking for another job. That's the right way to do it.

On the other hand, if they are not being selective, and just applying anywhere, it might mean they suck at job hunting, interviews, or just aren't trying. That might be negative, but at least they continue working at their present job, so it kind of balances out.

I think the only time it would really be negative is if they aren't working, and are lazy about looking for a job.

" ... has hated their job for a while, but has had no success finding a new one? "

not so different like the rest of 50(+) percent of the working people. Why would that be a red flag?

What has that to do with seeing / dating some one?

I say " green flag.. "

Because hating your job and keep trying to get a new one even you are rejected time after time and not giving up Is a good thing.

[Unit1]

Not at all. In Germany employers and customers can terminate you for something as ridiculous as not liking your pants or glasses or your favorite color - no reason needed. I wonder why these dickheads are not asking about it during the interviews.

[Anonymous]

a red flag for what reason? sometimes it's hard to find a job with the 200+ other people filling in the same application. honestly the fact that they are trying to change their situation at a job they hate is a step in the right direction regardless.

[msc545]

No, I don't think so because I don't think that people that do hiring have the final word about who or who is not a good person. It may be that they're simply not qualified for the job they're looking for. Instance, I am sure if I went looking for a job as an astronaut I probably would not get hired.

[katiesmuff]

I'd need to know a lot more of what was going on with this. Lots of people are not happy and have a rough time finding a different job so it is not a unique situation

[WhitneySnow]

I’ve never had a job yet, but it sounds to me like a good sign that he hasn’t just quit his current job before he found a new one. That means he’s not a total flake.

[ArrowheadSW]

Well depending on the type of work, it could take awhile to find a new job. So I wouldn't consider it a red flag just based on that.

[midnightmoon05]

I would need to know more.
what job is this person doing? Why they hate their job? What new job are they looking for?

[Anonymous]

I make a lot of money and date a lot of broke girls, as well as rich, I always assume I'm gonna pay.

However!!! For dudes w normal income, yes this is a red flag. You will end up taking care of her, which is not for everyone.

[silyt_ghoest]

not in this economy. it’s a hard enough tog et a job at mcdonald’sz

[exitseven]

Maybe, If they really hated their job and cannot find a better one she might not be much fun to be around.

[Paris13]

As long as No Catfish or Scammer, NP. They are Real and still Working Just Complaining. xx

[GuitarGirl20]

A little bit. Mine has quit his job but isn’t having success getting a new one, it’s a little bit concerning

[LiamJHayden]

Not necessarily. I've known people who hated their jobs, but had established themselves in the company to the point where starting over would equal a massive pay cut.

[jshm2]

No. Some people just love to moan about shit, while doing the same thing day in day out.

[DreamLife7]

You need therapy cause wtf are you even saying? Sounds like ur making excuses to feel good about being rejected.

[Extraterrestrial1999]

I didn't get rejected. I didn't ask anyone out, I just know some people who hate their jobs, and can't get new ones. I was just wondering if it is a red flag, if its your partner? Like would be concerned, or think something isn't right? that they can't get a new job.

[DreamLife7]

What does that have to do w/u liking her? Seems to me you're looking for excuses to cover the fact you're not her type and will be rejected

[Anonymous]

I'm not sure coz this is my situation. I mean it's good that they're trying I guess but I feel disappointed I'm not reaching my goals and that I'm not good enough for jobs I actually want.

[Nikki1989]

I am only interested in the person. I couldn't care less about what job he has or hasn't got.

[MysticDevice]

Thats not even close to a red flag. That's just someone in a rough spot at the moment.
