Do you notice having generous perks that are masked as stagnation? No promotions, skill gaps ignored. Paid Time Off (PTO) is a bait; real investment builds ladders. And if feedback loops are absent, then you’re parked. Ask about your career path forward to your manager and if the question is evaded often, then exit the ramp. Thriving cultures nurture talent, while stagnation disguised as flexibility drains one’s ambition.
Spot these in your job? Well, then it might be time to update your LinkedIn and look for a new job. After all, your peace matters above everything else.
