1. Occasionally, there are excellent drinks or snacks such as fried chicken in the afternoon.
2. The office environment is clean and comfortable.
1. The headquarters has many brands and departments. Regardless of the number of people in a department, half of them have official titles and positions. As a result, there are many hurdles to clear when getting anything done. It often happens that a manager approves something, only for it to be rejected at the final stage, requiring you to revise it from scratch and go through the approval process again. During this process, managers may also change their minds at any time and proceed in a direction different from what was discussed.
2. Senior management is too idealistic: They plan an excellent blueprint for everything, but if you point out difficulties in execution or say that the schedule needs to be extended, the response will be that you lack the ability.
3. Senior management trusts no one: Decisions made by middle managers are often overturned at the last minute. Even if you provide frequent updates throughout the process, you may still end up with this result. This causes middle managers to learn and use the same approach with lower-level employees. For ordinary frontline staff, senior management will often suddenly appear behind you and watch to see whether you are working diligently. If you happen not to be at your workstation, they will go through all the documents on your desk.
4. Company culture: Internal employees are usually people who have gradually worked their way up from the lowest level, and some may stay in the same position for ten years or more. However, for people who join from other companies, lasting a year is basically considered a long tenure. The main reasons are that the work is tedious and that, because there are many hurdles to clear, the amount of rework and revision is high. The company focuses on results, so naturally you will not be given a reasonable amount of time for revisions—even if your manager does not think the problem is your fault.... In addition, people inside believe that they are being “straightforward,” but from the perspective of new employees, it mostly feels like they are being treated unreasonably, mocked, and distrusted.
5. Managers’ sycophancy: This may be something that exists in every organization, but here you may be required to do something foolish in front of senior management, with your manager “instructing” you in front of them to show off their own ability. Alternatively, decisions may clearly have been made by the manager during the discussion, but when problems arise, they will make you take the blame. After all, for middle managers, with turnover this high, it makes no difference if several people below them are replaced.
