Joynese Speller was excited to start a new job as a project delivery specialist for a health care company on June 6.
As she wrapped up at her old nonprofit job on a Friday, she emailed her new company to confirm her start time on Monday. Hours later, she got another email: The company had some logistics to work out on their end, so Speller would actually start on Tuesday. That slid into Wednesday, and then Thursday.
On Friday, Speller got a phone call. Due to budget cuts, the job she hadn’t even started yet was being eliminated.
“I was told they were trying to find me a position in a different department, but it’s also the end of their fiscal year, so they’re taking a long time to get back to me,” Speller, 26, of Charlotte, North Carolina, tells CNBC Make It. “I left one job thinking I was going to another, so I wasn’t financially prepared for what was coming.”
Going back to her old workplace, which she says was “toxic” and had high turnover, wasn’t an option — but she needed to pay for a car repair and care for her 4-year-old son. She’s been doing Doordash deliveries to make ends meet for the past three weeks.

Job posts can tell you a lot about what you’re in for, both good and bad.
If you know what red flags to look for in a job ad, you may be able to spare yourself the trouble of dealing with a bad job or employer and experiencing new-hire’s remorse.
Here are the red flags experts say to watch for in job posts, and what they may signal about a potential employer or position.
Omitting information about pay
One of the most important aspects when considering a job is compensation.
“When people ask me if they should include salary in a job post, I ask them, “Have you ever taken a job without knowing how much money you would make first?'” said Katrina Kibben, a job post consultant and founder of Three Ears Media. “It’s just basic human choice. We would never accept a job without knowing how much money we’d get in it. We cannot make a decision without that core information.”
So when a company dances around the subject or makes no mention
of it at all, it’s worth noting.
“Look for vague compensation language,” said Keirsten Greggs, a talent acquisition consultant, career coach, and founder of TRAP Recruiter. “They should be able to give you a range.”

Humans have been trying to master lie detection for thousands of years — and failing miserably.
In fact, polygraphs aren’t reliable. With as little as 15 minutes of training, people have been able to consistently beat the test.
The U.S. National Academy of Sciences has even said that “the Federal government should not rely on polygraph examinations for screening prospective or current employees, or to identify spies or other national security risks because the test results are too inaccurate.”
So is there any way to detect lies based on real science? Actually, yes, and it involves understanding the psychology behind how liars think.
How to tell when someone is lying—and get the truth out of them
In 2009, the High-Value Detainee Interrogation Group, or HIG, was formed by the federal government to develop new lie detection best practices, and by 2016, the interagency group had spent more than $15 million on over 100 research projects with top psychologists.
So what do people who are incredibly good at catching liars on the spot do?

Tech CEOs Want Every Worker to Have a Permanent, Publicly-Available Job Performance File

In May, Charlie Youakim, the CEO of buy now pay later (BNPL) firm Sezzle went on the World of DaaS podcast which is hosted by Auren Hoffman, the CEO of Safegraph, a large location data broker. Both companies are data harvesters that package and resell data to other parties. Towards the end of the episode, the two self-professed data nerds segued to a favorite subject amongst entrepreneurs: Team-building, a euphemism for hiring, managing, and firing. Or, as Hoffman put it, “Moneyballing for talent.”
“It’s very similar to our product, taking as much data as you can at the initiation of meeting someone and use that data as part of this matrix of how you look at them and evaluate,” Youakim said. “We use Wonderlic”—an aptitude test whose validity in a variety of settings has long been controversial—” but it’s not the be-all-end-all for us. It’s a data point. So we look at that. If you’re a younger potential employee, I want to see a transcript. Like how did you do in school? What was your GPA?” Later they referred to SAT scores as another data point.
Then, Hoffman floated an idea: “Now if there is, like, a World of DaaS listener out there and they started a co-op to gather all the data of, like, inputs of what people look like and then how good they did in your company and you could see this across thousands of companies….”
“That’d be awesome,” Youakim said.
“Would that be something you’d want to subscribe to or something?” Hoffman asked.
“Oh, absolutely,” Youakim enthused.

While it might be tempting to follow your peers and go searching for better-looking opportunities, here are five reasons why staying in your current job can actually pay off.

A toxic work culture is the biggest reason why people quit, and it’s 10 times even more important than pay, according to research published in the MIT Sloan Management Review. But what exactly does a toxic workplace actually look like?
Researchers analyzed 1.4 million Glassdoor reviews from nearly 600 major U.S. companies and found employees describe toxic workplaces in five main ways: non-inclusive, disrespectful, unethical, cutthroat, and abusive.
“Employees can have hundreds of different criticisms about their organization that they discuss on Glassdoor,” from IT problems to clueless management, says Charlie Sull, a researcher on the analysis. “Most won’t have a powerful emotive effect on their assessment of the organization, but we’re looking at a small sample of topics that do have a large effect on a company’s Glassdoor rating.” Those same factors can cost companies billions of dollars in employees quitting.
