10. The three-holiday bonuses are also unfairly distributed. They depend entirely on the supervisor’s preferences and range from 1,200 to 6,000.
11. Company trips require employees to use their own annual leave, which is not very fair and is not negotiable.
12. When you join, the salary offered is different from what was discussed in the interview, and the supervisor will pretend not to know anything about it.
13. Supervisors like to make grand promises, but in the end, all the benefits are taken by employees who curry favor with them.
