Stingy—the ultimate in cost-cutting. Employees are blocked from buying things and purchases get rejected; employees == costs. Professional opinions are ignored, talent is not valued, and eloquence is valued instead.

Every department is understaffed, yet we have to fill out useless worksheets detailing what we do each day and how long it takes. They proudly believe this will help accumulate data and improve personnel management, but in reality it is all bullshit. When other departments actually need support, no one looks at this kind of thing anyway. There aren’t enough people already—who the fuck cares about this data?
The boss happily announced at the year-end banquet that the company made hundreds of millions last year [looks down at the pathetic year-end bonus...]. A subordinate immediately said, “Then I’m not signing off on that one hour of overtime.”

The environment is comfortable.
You can order a boxed lunch for free when working overtime.
The company takes care of lunch; it only costs NT$40.
