Applying for new jobs 2 weeks into a new one

I recently posted on here about being expected to work before I'd received an official contract, and a lot of you warned me about the work environment I was about to find myself in. Unfortunately you were all right 💀

2 weeks in and I'm already back on the job boards. The boundaries are non existent. My boss will text me at odd hours, weekends included asking me to do things that aren't necessarily part of my job description (I don't respond till the next workday at 8), and the workloads are crazy. Especially with me being the only one in my position in the company, so everything essentially falls on me. To top it all up, the salary isn't worth the hassle I currently am facing, it literally just covers my rent and transport to and from work.

In summary, y'all were right, being asked to work before you receive your contract IS a red flag. So back to the job hunt we go.
