Signs You Might Be Being Exploited at Work

One key red flag indicating potential exploitation at work is when your actions align with those of an owner, expecting increased responsibility without commensurate rewards. Another red flag is when verbal assurances or promises do not match tangible outcomes or actions, creating a disconnect between words and deeds. Additionally, ambiguous performance reviews without clear paths to advancement can signal potential exploitation. Lastly, if competition for promotions is framed as limited, leading to employees feeling pitted against each other and hindering growth opportunities, exploitation may be present.
