1. Being part of the company’s inner circle; occasionally, for celebrations, the boss’s wife treats employees to snacks.
2. Some make-up workdays during holidays are turned into company events.
1. The position operates under a responsibility-based system. The company emphasizes compliance with the Labor Standards Act, but in reality there is no overtime pay.
(Also, this year the company hired a consulting firm to adjust the salary structure, which is essentially being used to circumvent the Labor Standards Act.)
2. Decisions change from one day to the next. There is no system: what is said is one thing, but what is done is another.
3. A certain director is extremely emotional and holds tremendous power. Managers under her either leave or have no authority.
(Managers can only guide you on certain technical matters; everything else is handled by the director herself.)
4. Apart from senior executives, the turnover rate among general staff is extremely high.
5. Compared with sales staff, technical staff are truly undervalued.
(If you do not bring in sales, you are considered useless—but without products, what are the salespeople supposed to sell?)
6. They want you to obey quietly, but also expect you to have ideas. If your ideas do not meet their expectations, the consequences are truly awful; you will occasionally be singled out and told, “[You are wrong].”
7. They paint beautiful visions of the future, but when those promises are fulfilled, there is always an excuse that the timing is not right yet.
8. They really like holding meetings, but they are genuinely useless. At every monthly meeting, you have to watch the boss talk about how amazing he is.
9. Health checkups and employee trips are basically paid for by the employees themselves. Even department meal expenses have to be charged to the department’s budget.
10. People within the company like to shift costs and responsibilities onto one another, wasting human resources. They also haggle with other departments over performance figures, creating conflict between departments.
