The employees are all easy to get along with.
1. They especially like to dump work on you right before the end of the workday.
2. They place a strong emphasis on working independently.
They clearly use one person as three or four employees, yet still act as if they hope everyone can work independently and that all this work is meant to train your abilities, and so on... They talk very persuasively, but in reality, they simply want you to do more work.
3. It is always the employees' fault.
Whenever something happens, their first reaction is to accuse you of not doing your job properly. Even if you try to explain that you were not the one who did it, they will only assume that we are making excuses.
4. Don't even dream of getting overtime pay.
Overtime is only counted if the supervisor signs off on it. Before signing, they will ask what you did that day and then decide whether to sign. If there is nothing particularly urgent, just leave work on time; doing it the next day won't kill you.
5. They get angry if you don't buy lunch for the bosses.
They can clearly come and go as they please, and they are not the ones looking after the shop, yet they insist on waiting for someone to deliver their boxed lunches to their desks. Is it really that hard for them to step out of the company to buy food? Why don't they think about how exhausting it is for us to carry several boxed lunches every day, walking under the sun?
6. One person is used for many roles: photography, graphic design, customer service, sales, order fulfillment and shipping, warehouse management, and purchasing. Basically, the more you learn, the more work you do, but your salary will not be increased according to your abilities. You will only end up feeling that you work so hard for so little pay.
7. The products are the most important thing.
When we use a utility knife, when they walk past us, they are not worried that we might get hurt; they are worried that we might damage the products. New stock comes in almost every day. Products keep arriving, but there are not as many orders as incoming products. They seem to think there will always be enough room to store everything, and then, when the products' expiration dates become an issue, they blame you for not paying attention to them.
