Sharing some bizarre and unbelievable things

1. There are many members of the royal family and their relatives. Position titles are just for show; what the royal family and their relatives say goes.

2. There are many BUs, but everyone does their own thing, and nobody listens to anyone else. Unless T steps in to speak, they will only reluctantly cooperate for a while.

But what is called cooperation is just T assigning things personally and seeing who is more unfortunate.

3. Continuing from the previous point, employee turnover is high, and since everyone does their own thing, strange situations often occur: PMs do not know that a new product has launched,

customer service does not know that a feature has been launched or discontinued, sales does not know how to use the product’s features, and R&D has not finished developing what marketing is promoting.

4. Product or feature development is decided by T. If you express an opposing opinion, you may end up in a situation where those who comply survive, those who resist perish, or you may be blacklisted.

5. The company is very stingy. Benefits that are announced are often automatically reduced or disappear. In addition to the vending machine price increases mentioned earlier,

employees have to pay for business trips themselves first, and the company only allocates the reimbursement three months later.

6. The company is very stingy—let me say it again. For company club activities, employees have to pay upfront, and reimbursement only comes much later.

7. The company is very stingy—let me say it a second time. During the three major festivals, gift boxes received from other vendors are first picked over by the royal family and their relatives. Then the business team is asked to remove the business cards

and send the boxes out as gifts. Whatever remains is opened at a rate of one or two boxes per day and distributed among employees to eat. (Does this count as a benefit?)

6. There is an employee welfare committee in the company, but its authority is vague and it has no decision-making power, because what the royal family and their relatives say goes.

7. The performance review system is only for reference; everything depends on your relationship with the boss and whether the boss is in a good mood.

8. There is no system for distributing employee profit sharing. The timing depends on the boss’s mood and is irregular, but it will only be delayed, never paid early.

9. There are quite a few long-serving employees and redundant staff within the company. They do not work, only obstruct others or create problems everywhere and then make someone else fix them.

But they can always find reasons and excuses to survive.

10. The company loves attacking competitors everywhere. But because T makes all the decisions, the company’s own products are also full of problems.

a: They like to have employees act as free testers, with bubble tea and fried chicken cutlets or similar things as rewards, but usually the testing does not uncover much anyway.

b: If a software feature is developed in-house, the beta version is released directly. Problems or customer complaints are dealt with afterward.

c: If a software feature is not developed in-house, the standard response to problems is: “Please resolve issues with third-party software yourself.”

d: The company has a weak understanding of the rule of law and proper licensing, resulting in fewer and fewer HDMI features that it can boast about.

That is about all I can think of for now. There are probably many more things; I will share them if I think of any.
