For property staff, what actually has a greater impact is the site they are assigned to. I think the biggest advantage—and what attracted me—is that it is close to home. I got to know some good colleagues, as well as very kind cleaning uncles and aunties.
1. It is difficult to request annual leave. The colleagues on-site cannot swap shifts, and if headquarters says there is no one to cover your shift, you simply cannot take leave. 2. I was hired by a company I really wanted to join, but I did not dare to resign too early because I was afraid I would not receive my year-end bonus. However, the company that hired me hoped I could start sooner, so I could only wait until the bonus was credited and notify my company of my resignation before the Lunar New Year, while setting my final date after the New Year. My colleagues said the company might be unhappy and withhold the year-end bonus. I thought a large company should not act that way, but in the end I received only 2,000 in year-end bonus. The total number of months worked was about the same as last year, yet the bonus differed by several times. When I called to ask, they simply said: “This is the company’s game rule. There is no fixed standard; the standard is different every year, and it depends on how much the supervisor wants to give. It has nothing to do with seniority or the number of months worked.” Who would believe that? I certainly do not. It is just that the company did not want to pay because I was leaving. This is a job suitable for people who just want to coast until retirement, with no prospects for development.
