The colleagues are pretty good.

I applied for a position at minimum wage and discovered that the average length of employment at this company is only about a year or less.

Of course, it’s common for companies and applicants to each talk up their own strengths during interviews.

But I never expected the gap to be this huge.

The job was described as wonderful during the application process, but I really couldn’t stand it after only a short time at the company.

The position I originally wanted to apply for was said to be filled, so I asked whether other departments were interested.

I asked the interviewing supervisor whether it would be possible to transfer to another position later on, since learning more would be beneficial.

After joining, I found that transferring internally was incredibly difficult for colleagues.

If you really want to transfer, you even have to handle two jobs at once.

If you don’t respond to messages on weekends, your supervisor may still pressure you to do so.

With more than a dozen projects on your plate each month, you are constantly criticized and made to feel like a thief stealing your salary.

Overtime was changed to an application-based system, which I checked and found to be legal.

However, being rejected when applying or questioned by your supervisor about your “kimochi” (feelings) is really unpleasant.

Of course, there is no meal allowance for overtime either.

There are piles of terrible projects. The sales team agrees to everything, so you have to do everything.

It is also very common for the people carrying out the work to be criticized later when the costs do not match.

There is no comprehensive training; you are simply left to do things however you think is best.

When a project goes wrong, the supervisor does not step in to handle it and simply leaves the employees below to solve it themselves.

The supervisor never cares whether you live or die.

They gave 2,000 yuan as the annual bonus—at most, that can only be called a teaching bonus, right?

I heard senior employees discussing how there was also a case two years ago in which the annual bonus could not be paid.

Before Lunar New Year, they only paid half a month’s salary.

I don’t know whether this is a rumor or true. Could any former employee who happens to see this clarify?

(I remember there was no pandemic two years ago, so I don’t know what excuse the boss gave.

I have also experienced late salary payments; being delayed by a day or two is something I won’t quibble over here.

I’m just afraid I’ll really encounter the half-salary situation mentioned by former employees.

Even after resigning, the supervisor continues to haunt and exploit people. It’s truly frightening.

You really need to think twice before applying.

If you only want to earn enough to get by and don’t mind the situations mentioned above,

you could consider giving it a try—as practice and to accumulate “experience.”

If everyone later sees a pile of positive reviews appearing,

you should suspect that the company itself is using fake accounts to post favorable reviews.
