Job spec fallacies and red flags. I will start:

* "Fast-paced environment" = "You will rarely finish something before start something else"
* "Ability to juggle competing priorities" = "our leaders don't align holistically and everything is important"
* "Opportunity to interact with all departments" = "You will accumulate functions"
* "Industry pioneers" = "We didn't research our competition when we started"
* "Leaders in the segment" = "We still haven't researched our competition"
* "Matrixed teams" = "we don't know how to structure our organisation"

    "You will accumulate functions" also known as "Wearing Many Hats" (none of them cute)

    @djsumdog we had someone refusing to give her opinion about certain stuff because having multiple hats. It was one big role play for her. Bitch. Left the company herself.

    "We barely have maintenance" => the silent one that looks 50 while being 30 in the corner is doing it all alone.

    "You are stress-resilient" - We will dump a whole lot of shit on you while we offload our responsibility to you and meanwhile we go off doing fun stuff such as foosball while you suffer and barely get a moment to breathe due to the insane amount of pressure from every single project contact whining on you, killing your productivity.
