No need to elaborate; everything is the same as mentioned above (the salary at the time was 46K).
The management system has serious loopholes. I still remember joining the company last August. On my second day at work, I didn’t know how to use the coffee machine, so I asked a colleague next to me who was also making coffee how to use it. Of course, I thanked her and introduced myself as the new colleague who had joined that day. The following week, after my supervisor returned from leave, she told me that the person I had asked that day was the director of the Marketing Department, known as the “e-commerce goddess,” Joyxx. She was very unhappy with me, and my difficult days began from then on. I was constantly picked on for things such as not attending a scheduled meeting (there had never been any scheduled meeting at all), being rude to colleagues (but the key point is that I wasn’t even in the Marketing Department, and I didn’t know—let alone speak to—anyone in her department), and so on. I was extremely confused about what I had done to offend her. Later, I learned that she was someone who desperately needed to be “fawned over.” Shopee’s department leaders were, without exception, ABCs from McKinsey & Company, and the “goddess” herself was too, so the factions were relatively obvious—not to mention the cliques among interns and graduates from NTU, NTHU, NCTU, and NCCU~
As others have mentioned, the management system is inadequate: if they don’t like you, they simply get rid of you. So naturally, I was asked to leave by the goddess, and was even pressured to sign a voluntary resignation form. Sigh~ At the time, my supervisor was a young woman from Beijing who only wanted to build connections. In reality, within our CM Fashion team, no one besides me had experience related to fashion apparel or media. I’m not trying to criticize them by saying they had no taste or anything like that; I just want to say to HR: “These people are under indescribable pressure already—why force the wrong people into a pit?”
Finally, I want to say to those who are still working there and those who want to join Shopee: “good luck”
