Discussion on: What are some red flags to look out for in the first few weeks of a new dev job?

[Jose Gonzalez]

• when no one has paired with you and expects to magically deliver
• everyone keeps talking jargon
• shadow command
• people use headphones all the time (yet you're expected to work together)
• no team lunch/gathering
• no one explains/clears WTH their expectations are of you
• no on explains the business
• you spend days configuring your machine cus documentation sucks

(May have more later)

[Karl Castillo]

I've never heard of shadow command? Could you elaborate more on that?

[Nihar Raote]

Maybe he means a situation where there's no clear idea who is in command. Everyone's pushing responsibilities and decision-making to each other, making it hard to figure out who is leading the team/project.
