> There's a certain personality type that will never appreciate or reward hard work.

Now, how would someone figure out these personality types ahead of time? Any red flags to detect people or workplaces to avoid in a professional capacity?

Ask them flatout how they reward initiative and accomplishment. If they start fumbling, there's your answer. If they don't, ask them for a concrete example. If that's when they struggle, there's your answer.

1. "...Able to work under pressure and meet deadlines.."

PASS !

2. "I(boss) coded the first version..."

50% of the time it means:

Your solutions or design decision will never be "as good as his" and you will forever hear "I did it like this and that. It should be fast to implement xyz"

I think the problem ties largely in mental illness... Sociopathic behavior, psychopathic behavior are pretty much the norm in C level management.

There's a book called "Dangerous Personalities" which takes a dive into practical psychology for these sorts of people.
