During the interview, I was told that formal attire would be sufficient for work.
However, after I started working, I was unexpectedly required to wear a “short” skirt every day.
If it went past the knee, I would be called aside privately for “guidance.”
Meetings were often held under various pretexts.
The entire afternoon would be spent preparing for the meeting, and the company had a family-style karaoke venue on the second floor. By the end, meetings would always turn into singing.
We were then required to accompany them with fake smiles and were forced to drink alcohol.
We were not allowed to leave early, and the time was not counted as overtime.
Because work was delayed by meetings and singing, we still had to go downstairs and finish everything ourselves before we could leave.
The hierarchy in the company was extremely clear-cut.
Newcomers were required to handle many miscellaneous tasks that were outside their responsibilities.
Newcomers who could drive were often asked to provide support for outside assignments.
Having our lunch breaks taken up was also an everyday occurrence.
Overtime was not counted for you; in addition, although the workday ended at 6:00 p.m., overtime only started being counted after 6:30 p.m.
And supervisors would give you a hard time for leaving work on time.
The company also had a very high turnover rate.
There were fewer than five employees with more than one year of tenure.
The handover of information was also incomplete, so you had to clean up many messes left behind by others.
This was also the first company I had encountered that held its annual banquet at Cashbox.
We were even required to sit in the plum-blossom arrangement and attend to vendors and clients.
We had to accompany them with fake smiles and drink alcohol; the scene was extremely similar to a hostess club.
The small company had a pile of inexplicable rules,
as well as some unwritten regulations.
The main issue was the routine, unreasonable overtime and socializing.
This was the shortest and most unpleasant job I have ever had.
There are too many shortcomings at this company to list them all.
If you receive an interview invitation, all I can say is that everyone should consider it carefully.
