The supervisor is often absent, so if you want to slack off, you can slack off.
Those ten-dollar drinks upstairs are not an advantage at all—please think twice. They are all benefits fees deducted every month, so how are they an advantage?
The advantage of working here is that you can enjoy yourself at work: sleep when you want to sleep, watch YouTube when you want to watch it, and not worry about people saying you are slacking off—because there are plenty of people who slack off more than you do.
The boss wants to be a people-pleaser and hired a bunch of people, thinking they would help him get things done. In the end, whether they actually work is unclear, but they are definitely good at causing trouble.
I remember when I first joined the company, I was full of anticipation and enthusiasm for the job. Some people would even tell me, “If you do a good job, I’ll put in a good word for you with the boss.” I thought everyone was very familiar and close with the boss.
The company’s internal power structure is mainly divided between the Development and Sales departments.
The supervisors on both sides dislike each other; during meetings, they accuse each other of not understanding things and not taking their work seriously.
The domineering Sales supervisor likes to bring strong religious overtones into the company culture. Perhaps it is well-intentioned, but I really must respectfully decline this goodwill.
After interviewing someone, if they simply dislike you, think you are not obedient or dog-like enough, they will say you lack ability and use their rhetoric to make you leave on your own, saving them a severance payment.
In my view, the Sales team does not go out to pursue business and slacks off every few days. Before the Development staff have even eaten, Sales has already bought lunch boxes and started shouting, “I’m going to start eating!”
The Development department has plenty of problems too. If someone takes a dislike to you, they will dump a five-star kitchen-sized black pot on you—that is, pin all the blame on you.
They handle things based on the person rather than the issue, seriously delaying work efficiency. After all, they will not be the ones taking responsibility if something goes wrong.
The PM has the title but does not perform the role—not merely because they do not do it, but because they do not know how.
When something goes wrong, you can always get away with it by shouting louder than everyone else. If that still does not work,
then shout even louder.
Fresh graduates entering the workforce are still welcome to come in and test themselves, honing their ability to withstand pressure and their mental state. If interested, you can also ask the company veterans. The longer you stay, you may not necessarily become more capable, but you will definitely become better at pretending—or perhaps even pick up a bit of agility.
