Got an offer on the table Dont say yes just yet.

Got an offer on the table Dont say yes just yet.Got an offer on the table Dont say yes just yet.Dont overlook the one thing that will make or break your success.The salary is right, the title is right, the benefits and location are right. You like the people youll be working for. But what about the people youll be working with? Your colleagues and team members? How do you feel about them? If the answer is that youre not sure, you should probably find out. Heres why. Happiness.When you take a job, youre basically joining a social network. Your co-workers become a huge and influential part of your life. Theyre the people you spend fruchtwein of your day with. You kind of need to like them. Its the difference between dreading going into the office every day or looking forward to it. A study from employee engagement company, TINYpulse, found that employees overwhelming responded team members and colleagues when asked what they loved most about their jobs. Growth.You are who you associate yourself with. Its true. If your co-workers are unmotivated and uninterested in doing a great job, their attitude toward work will rub off on you. You will subconsciously try to assimilate yourself with your group. Also, when you join a group where you feel like you dont belong, chances are, you wont be able to get ahead. While its a totally reasonable request to ask to meet with your co workers, its also not something most people do. So be careful how you word it. Something like this is the best way to approach it Im really excited about the position. Before I formally accept, would it be possible to talk with the people Ill be working most closely with to get a sense of how everyone works together? A quick meeting over coffee, or just a quickinformal chat? A good hiring manager should appreciate you wanting to make sure its a good fit for you. If your request is turned down, that says something about your boss and maybe even the company. Its really hard not to see it as a red fla g. Either your boss doesnt think your happiness at work is important, doesnt really care if you take the job, or shes hiding something about the culture that shed rather you didnt know. No reasonable person commits to marriage without getting to know someone. And no reasonable employee should commit to a long-term relationship with co-workers they havent even met. Considering the amount of hours you devote to it, the quality of your professional life should be just as important to you as the quality of your personal one.
