Workplace reviews and discussion: 悅笙企業有限公司

Nothing. The salary is okay.

Pros

I can't think of any. The salary is okay.

Cons

1. The boss is difficult to communicate with. If you need to discuss something with her, she gets upset and is very sarcastic. She seems to think you should be able to read her mind.

2. When it comes to judging work progress, the boss relies primarily on her own feelings. She doesn't care how many steps the process requires or how much work there is; everything is based on what she imagines and feels.

3. She thinks she is very capable and often says things like, “Otherwise, I can do it myself,” or “A part-time student could do it, too.” Yet the company is constantly short-staffed and unable to find people, leaving the office practically empty. Many people can't stand it and want to leave after working there for only a short time.

4. She thinks she is an open-minded boss who gives employees room to develop and wants them to take charge, but she is actually very autocratic and has strong opinions of her own. It is normal for a boss to have her own ideas; the problem is that she is autocratic while pretending to be democratic. Asking her about design details leads to sarcastic remarks, which is truly exhausting—and you also have to do her homework for her. (The work isn't yours; don't you need to discuss it?)

5. She loves badmouthing employees. As soon as she enters the office, she criticizes one person or another with the leather-goods designer, and when she criticizes you, she may even do it loudly enough for you to hear.

6. The office is very small, cramped, and uncomfortable.

7. She thinks all employees are enemies who have come to drag down her business.

8. She is extremely confident in her own aesthetic sense, but the design results are always ugly.

9. Everything is someone else's fault; she is always the victim.

10. Nothing is handed over properly, and the information is incomplete, but she thinks you should be able to figure everything out by casually looking through it. The company's photos are categorized chaotically. Ten years' worth of product photos are organized by shooting date rather than by model number. If a product is missing, you have to search for it one folder at a time among thousands of folders.

11. When you ask her questions or discuss work with her, if she doesn't know how to answer or doesn't understand, she says, “That's your job. Why are you bothering me? Do you expect me to do it for you?” (Does that mean I can just do it however I want? Isn't this your company—or has it become my company?)
