Interviewed for a product planning position

I prepared product proposals I had worked on in the past for the interview, and the detailed description of the position was also for a product planning role.

But after I started, I was continually asked to manage the company’s fan page.

I asked the CEO to provide product documents so that I could write marketing copy and articles, but there was nothing.

They expected one post every 1–2 days, while also expecting me to spend only one hour a day producing content.

After one week on the job, I explained that I had applied for the product planning department, not a social media editor and marketing role. I said that if the company could not find someone in the short term, I could take on the extra work temporarily, but it did not match the position I had interviewed for or my previous experience, and I hoped the owner would take this issue seriously.

I also expressed that I would still stay with the company and continue working hard.

Less than a week later, the CEO called me in and directly said that I was making excuses and was not proactive enough (I was completely baffled at this point).

They then gave me two weeks to think about whether I wanted to stay with the company.

After two weeks, I was dismissed without any further discussion. I requested that they issue a certificate of involuntary termination, but when HR sent me the termination documents the following week, I discovered that they had not issued an involuntary termination certificate; instead, they had stated that I had resigned voluntarily.

Furthermore, the CEO is extremely headstrong and impossible to communicate with.

Product specifications within the company were communicated verbally. I told him that this was inefficient and prone to confusion, but the CEO actually said, “We’re a startup. Recording everything would be too inefficient.” At that point, I was speechless...

An engineer said: “It feels like we’re communicating telepathically.”
