Workplace reviews and discussion: 地表最潮股份有限公司

Designers have flexible and free working hours (because the boss likes running around everywhere and showing off as a fashionable man)

The relationships among colleagues in the company are good

In addition to the advantages mentioned above, because the boss likes running around everywhere, he only understands the surface of what you are doing. He is also a very superficial businessman who is very good at negotiating prices: he will negotiate your salary as low as possible and take advantage of you as much as possible. Many of the clients who have worked with him have fallen out with him.

The boss has an extremely poor EQ—so poor that all the employees resigned together. This was the first time since entering the workforce that I had encountered someone who would publicly insult and berate people, calling them pigs and humiliating them. He believes that good performance requires being scolded (whether employees, vendors, or clients).

Another classic example is that he will lie to you about how capable and impressive the designers he has paid are, and how high his own standards are. Even when everyone is following the schedule and solving many practical problems that he does not care about at all (because he only likes acting as the public-relations person) and cannot solve himself, he only cares about his mood. If the progress does not look fast enough, he scolds people. In the end, after everyone resigned one by one, he spent twice as much time himself and still had not started construction. After construction began, he rejected the vendors we had spent a long time comparing and selecting at good prices, and found vendors he had originally claimed were inexpensive and professional. Those vendors ended up abandoning the project halfway through.

He also takes advantage of the designers and architects he originally worked with whenever he can.

The boss is very good at talking nonsense and deceiving people. For marketing purposes, before you join, he tells you how important you are, how grand his ideals are, and how much you can learn from him. In reality, from the day you join until the day you leave, you learn nothing. Even the famous Red Dot Hotel has now had its CEO dismissed. More frighteningly, now that he can no longer make a convincing case, when he goes out to discuss projects he often falsely claims that we did projects such as XX, or that he gave the input, and so on (which is completely unrelated to reality).

If you like watching him do marketing, you can go to Facebook and praise this “seafood” for a while.
