The colleagues are nice

The boss and manager have serious problems

Boss:

1. Treats all employees like servants, constantly asking them to pour tea and wipe tables for her. When guests come, she tells employees to loudly say, “Hello, Chairman xx!” The boss has a very bad attitude, looks down on everyone, and has an inflated sense of self-importance.

2. Considers herself a saint. During meetings, she makes you read religious-preaching-like passages after her. She also criticizes whatever kinds of books other people read, saying they are completely worthless.

3. As the boss, she has no integrity. She dislikes overweight people and people who do not dress themselves up much, and publicly discusses your body shape and appearance during meetings.

4. Makes one employee do the work of two. Regardless of whether you are doing planning, tender proposals, or design, she will treat you like a mover or delivery driver. She even once required the design department to work from 9 a.m. to noon, leave work, and then return at 6 p.m. to help move goods from her other company until midnight, without any overtime pay or allowance during that time.

5. Expects employees to work overtime but does not want to pay overtime, and also does not want employees to take leave. Basically, working under her offers no benefits whatsoever; even basic rights may be taken away.

6. Every day, the boss moves employees’ desks around according to her mood—moving them out from inside and then back upstairs from downstairs. When she moves employees into her line of sight, she says, “I need to re-educate you,” believing herself to be a supreme sage and teacher.

Manager:

1. Basically, the boss’s alter ego.

2. Whenever the boss makes any unreasonable demands of subordinates, the manager never deals with them—an attitude focused solely on self-interest.

3. Never speaks up for subordinates. Even when subordinates are mistreated by the company, the manager simply chooses to remain silent.

4. When an employee has been with the company long enough and tells the manager they hope to get a raise, the manager only says to go talk to the boss themselves, because the manager does not want to be scolded by the boss and wants to remain the “good child” in the boss’s eyes.
