1. Colleagues are easy to get along with, and the age difference isn’t large—on average, around 30.

2. Salaries are always paid on time.

3. I can’t think of anything else.

1. It’s a technology company, but its way of operating is very traditional and old-fashioned.

2. Basically, people who join later don’t get much of a salary adjustment; those who came before have already secured the better positions.

3. They like hiring fresh graduates to keep salaries low, and they also like telling employees that “ours is the best in the industry.” You can imagine how poor the salary levels are for frontline store staff.

4. Senior sales associates who come over to become managers will ask whether there were any problems at the previous company as a way to screen people.

5. The bonus requirements keep being changed for the worse, so you can only keep receiving the base salary.

6. The busiest times are new product launches and anniversary sales events. If targets aren’t met, the year-end bonus is also pitiful. It’s basically just the base salary multiplied by some fraction—so miserable that it makes you feel depressed just looking at it.

7. I’ve encountered store-visit supervisors saying that employees are rich because they had bought some new product. As a frontline employee, am I supposed to be able to teach customers how to use it just because I attended training?

8. In the past, whenever equipment broke, they would only say there was no budget. Eventually, an efficient logistics team came in and replaced a round of equipment, but then they resigned too. If something breaks in the stores again, the reply will probably once again be “there’s no budget.” Other people also have no budget but still help think of ways to handle things. To put it bluntly, they just don’t want to do it.

9. What era are we living in that we still have to fill out paper forms to report overseas travel? And the system still requires us to do the same thing twice, just like applying for leave. Great job.

10. Head-office managers really like prying into employees’ privacy. If you add them on Instagram or Facebook and say anything wrong, you’ll immediately be blacklisted. You’re better off not using them.

11. Whether you’re working or off duty, messages keep flooding the company LINE group. I’ve already turned off notifications, but seeing the red number keep increasing is still depressing. Even more frightening is that there’s iMessage too. What an efficient technology company—sending messages constantly apparently counts as doing work. If a store has no customers, just receiving the base salary is already considered good enough.

12. Managers are very good at holding grudges, so after seeing this, they will definitely immediately try to find out which employee wrote it. With the turnover rate so high every year, they can take their time guessing.
