Workplace reviews and discussion: 身體智慧有限公司

The boss and the lady boss are kind and considerate, the overall company atmosphere is good, employee health and benefits are valued, employees leave work on time, and overtime pay or compensatory leave is provided. Snacks are often available, and there is a learning allowance.

The main job responsibilities include sales and customer service, cashiering and checkout, assisting with classes and attending classes, social media management, image and video production, long-form writing... Other duties include assisting with product planning and brainstorming, etc.

During the interview, they gave the wrong hours for the evening shift. They said it would end at 21:00–21:30, but in reality it ended at 21:45–22:00. Sometimes, helping with livestreams meant working until 22:30.

Incident:

A few days after the interview, I first received a rejection email. Then, a week later, I suddenly received an invitation saying they needed to increase their staffing.

However, less than two months after I was hired, the boss suddenly accompanied the supervisor in asking me to come into a small room and asked, “Do you want to work until today or tomorrow?”

The reason was that the supervisor said they did not want to spend time training a new employee, that the new employee was not sufficiently able to work independently right away, and that this did not fit the company’s current scale.

However, according to what the boss told me, many of the things the supervisors believed I did poorly were actually things the supervisors had praised me for in person. I would have preferred the female supervisor to tell me specifically in person what I was doing poorly, rather than communicating it through upper management.

In less than two months, I was expected to learn sales, cashiering, customer service, assisting with classes and attending classes, social media management, and content production.

I believe I made concrete progress, and my colleagues also said so. I believe I worked hard to learn and was ambitious.

I had already clearly explained my software skills and other abilities during the interview.

However, the boss said that during the interview, they had delegated the authority to the lady boss and the male manager of the marketing department, and had not participated personally. Therefore, they could only assess an employee’s abilities based on what the female supervisor said, so they reluctantly made this decision...

This position is not suitable for newcomers without relevant work experience unless they can perform independently right away. Ideally, you need to become fully proficient in everything within one month; the company does not have much patience.
