Talk to people. Interview your entire team, with detailed questions, avoid solutioning out of context, just listen. Next extend those interviews to stakeholders your team supports- go as deep or as high as you can, adjust questions for context, execs? business/strategy questions, the janitor? the dirt questions... yes interview the cleaning crew...

Ive done these rounds at every job and 2 times I left that job immediately after the interviews.

Why?

If you read between the lines, it would seem no one was keeping the place clean.

Well, when you want the cleaning crew to spy for you, you better get chummy with them. My parents were janitors, so I got a start point at least. We're all just cleaning crews in the end.

It is sewerage all the way down.

You would know

Why? none ya biznuts man. Read between the lines, I talked to people and it was a dumpster fire. Interviews are lies. Always treat hiring as YOUR opportunity, interview THEM.

Sounds like you had FU money or can easily get into another job quickly.

The assumptions. No FU money here- My luck is zilch buddy... many attempts and nothing but blood sweat and tears. My thing. I was homeless once... I dont give a fuck.
