The company’s starting pay is low, and quite a few departments are genuinely awful. The managers only want to curry favor with upper management and work hard to get promoted, while ruthlessly suppressing those below them. In my department, none of the lower-level employees has received a promotion in twenty years, while the manager alone rose to deputy section chief. On top of that, an assistant manager occupies the section chief position, and the section chief and deputy section chief desperately take work from other departments and bring it back for lower-level employees to do. There is absolutely no sign of any future here. If you really want to join, you must have connections. Coming to such a miserable department—you might as well leave. As for why I don’t leave? Because there are only a few years left until I can collect a lump-sum payment. Of course I’ll leave after collecting it.
