How to Tell if You’re Being ‘Breadcrumbed’ at Work

“Breadcrumbing is when you leave little bits of bread for someone. It’s a way of saying when you lead someone on,” explains Love Island host Caroline Flack. These small amounts of communication, encouragement or rewards ultimately might leave the recipient empty-handed. Whether you’re being strung along in a drawn-out hiring process or your existing employer is leading you on, A                          . You can see it when your manager drops hints about new projects, raises or promotions that may — or may not — ever materialise. “Breadcrumbing is really a modern term for what we used to call intermittent reinforcement, B                          ,” says B Lynn Ware, an industrial/organisational psychologist and the CEO of a leadership consultancy in California. She explains that successful managers use behavioural reinforcement to develop their staff through appropriate and proportional recognition and rewards.

So how can you tell when you’re being breadcrumbed, and what should you do about it? In a healthy workplace, feedback comes readily and regularly. Take stock of when you receive rewards or encouragement; is it only during times of peak burnout, C                          ? An employer who only offers encouragement or rewards in response to challenges D                           than actually developing you as an employee. A classic breadcrumbing tactic is giving someone just enough to keep them busy, E                          .

So, consider how your managers reacts to your proposals for new projects or ideas. Are they encouraging you to explore these new avenues? Or are they requiring you to stay on the track they’ve designed for you? If you find yourself picking up rewards and promises from your employer, F                          . If not, maybe it’s time to find a new path to follow.
