This is my genuine experience after working at this company for a period of time.

After the excellent and highly cooperative partners left, there were absolutely no advantages.

Please refer directly to the shortcomings below.

(Perhaps there are more ...); this company has been "start-up" for ten years.

The shared Yang-surname boss and manager uses outdated, unoriginal marketing methods (TV advertisements, sponsored news coverage ...),

which provide absolutely no benefit to the products or the company in terms of marketing results.

1. When suggestions or recommendations made by company professionals do not align with the manager's intentions or ideas, the manager will contradict them and make sarcastic remarks (criticize them) as if they are completely useless, directly interfere, and show no respect whatsoever for the thoughts or opinions of talented employees. If the employee continues making recommendations, they may be given dirty looks or even be dismissed under fabricated pretexts. P.S.: You only need to follow the boss's arrangements and instructions (the boss is always right); your expertise is worthless.

2. When something or an event comes up, the manager really likes to hold meetings, but has [extremely] poor time management. Schedules are often arranged according to personal needs and ideas, and every meeting lasts "at least" one hour, yet the meeting content is often not planned in advance, has no clear direction, and interferes with other people's mealtimes or time after work (and overtime pay cannot be claimed ... see item 6). For example, meetings may not begin until 12:10 or 17:50.

During meetings, another manager may use illogical or unclear wording to lead the manager's thoughts astray, affecting the focus and objectives and causing the meeting to completely lose focus.

3. The manager is very good at making grand promises and often speaks eloquently about dreams for the future, telling employees (hypnotizing and brainwashing them):

Buy a car in three years, buy a house in five years, achieve financial freedom in seven years; the company is already looking at land for its headquarters; the company will go public or be listed on an OTC market at a certain time. The manager also tricks and exploits investors, using investors' connections to advertise and appear on television, promising investors even bigger things, while completely unwilling to invest money in projects conceived by the manager, unwilling to take responsibility for the company's success or failure, and only wanting investors to provide funding [treating investors like idiots]. When funding is available, it is instead used in other directions (to fill holes?).

4. In 2019, the company once used measures such as “weathering the difficulties together,” unpaid leave, and pay cuts to pressure employees into voluntarily resigning because they could no longer endure the situation.

In 2021, the same thing happened again: “weathering the difficulties together,” unpaid leave, pay cuts, and promises to make up the wages after the company overcame its difficulties.

The manager used poor acting [red eyes, seemingly about to cry] to tell employees, “I really don't want to do this. I will shoulder all the debts myself,” along with other rhetoric to brainwash employees.

5. The company lacks the planning, processes, systems, and corresponding professionals it should have (even when such professionals exist, they may be insulted or forced to resign because they do not comply with management's wishes). Resources (money, equipment ...) are not adequately provided, while demands are countless. Some people in the company hold multiple positions without a corresponding history of skills training (they are simply told to look up information online). There are also relatives and associates of the management who have no professional ability or knowledge whatsoever and may harass company employees at will.

6. Employees can choose between [overtime pay] and [compensatory leave] for overtime. However, the manager says that [applying for overtime pay will make the management] have a bad impression of you. Compensatory leave is not necessarily allowed to be taken either; depending on the company's needs, the manager may prohibit compensatory leave, annual leave, and personal leave at any time (a blanket ban).

7. The manager's direction changes every day: heading east one moment, north the next, then making a sudden 180-degree turn. This applies not only to employees but also to the company's product specifications and rules—everything is decided by the manager. The manager does not explain anything to customers and responds to opposition simply by covering it up and blocking it. (The manager's famous saying: “If you're unhappy, don't come.”)

8. Company A posts a recruitment advertisement, but employees are hired by Company B to evade legal issues and liabilities. Alternatively, an employee may initially join Company A, only to be transferred directly to another company after some time without being asked (even if asked, you would not dare to object), with seniority recalculated ... etc.

9. Nine-tenths of the benefits listed on employment websites do not exist. There was an instance in which labor and health insurance premiums were deducted from salaries in advance, but the company had no record of actually paying those premiums for employees. The company also takes other people's ideas, modifies and presents them as its own creative work, and uses them to apply for government resource subsidies.
