Workplace reviews and discussion: 韓國商辛普萊斯貿易有限公司

1. The colleagues are incredibly nice—so nice that you’ll wonder how you ended up working here.

2. Working hours are 8:00–17:00, so you don’t have to squeeze through crowds during your commute.

3. Convenient location.

That’s it.

The previous two comments described everything in painstaking detail, but there are simply too many incidents worth making public.

1. From the moment you join the company, the manager will teach you to do a bunch of things unrelated to your position. In other words, besides finishing your own responsibilities, you also have to do whatever the manager asks you to do. The key point is that these tasks are completely meaningless and provide no benefit to the company. For example: a report on your work-start procedure (turn on the computer when you arrive, turn on the monitor, clock in, open the webpage, and explain how to conduct business). WTF? I really don’t understand how doing these tasks helps society at all. It’s purely for his own entertainment.

2. Following on from the above, he occasionally gives employees lessons. He really enjoys feeling like a teacher. If the content were genuinely useful, it would indeed help employees—but the classes he gives are, to put it bluntly, incredibly stupid. He actually teaches us how to write reports and make PowerPoint presentations. Does he think we only graduated from elementary school? The funniest part is that he is constantly telling employees, “This is a company, not a school.” Sorry, but aren’t you the one treating this place like a school and yourself like a professor?

2-1. An employee directly told him, “I didn’t join the company to make these (idiotic) reports; I came to do my actual job.” He replied self-righteously, “I hired you to make these reports. I won’t hire people who only do their own jobs and then leave at the end of the day!” (??????)

3. The manager is clearly the head of a branch office, yet he constantly says he is the “boss” and treats employees like secretaries, making them handle all his affairs, big and small. He even makes employees work overtime to look up which hot-pot restaurant he should eat at after work. The only thing he hasn’t done is ask someone to wipe his butt after he takes a dump.

4. During the interview, he said he wanted to create a no-overtime culture, yet he gets angry when employees leave on time. Even when employees deliberately stay until 5:10 p.m. before leaving, he may still call them into the meeting room and lecture them. Then, if an employee works overtime, he gets very angry again (what exactly do you want?). He will even ask the employee responsible for HR to investigate whether the employee actually needs to work overtime (confused-black-person meme.jpg). He doesn’t want employees working overtime, but he also doesn’t want them leaving on time. He really thinks he’s an emperor!
