Workplace reviews and discussion: 百邇來設計行銷有限公司

There are break times, but they’ll call you into meetings during your break.

There are snacks for everyone to order, but the selection is limited—the boss says you can eat whatever he says is available.

You can leave work on time, but during the last half hour of the workday they’ll hold a meeting with you to explain cases that are due tomorrow.

Look at all these advantages above

Even when there are clearly many cases to handle, he deliberately piles on more work and asks when it will be finished.

If you don’t finish it, he mocks you, saying the pressure is great because the company pays your salary.

If you do finish it, he still mocks you, saying the quality of your work doesn’t look like design.

Even when you listen to the boss and do a good job, he still criticizes you, saying you could make several more versions for him to look at, and then a few days later he says
