Adding some things I dreamed about:
1. Job postings require applicants to be “fluent in English,” but in reality, the managers’ own English is terrible. They often write a kind of Taiwan-style English that is completely grammatically incorrect—worse than Google Translate—and still have the nerve to criticize assistants for not translating emails into English word-for-word according to their Chinese meaning. The formal announcements the company sends to clients are also written by those managers. Reading them makes you wonder whether the company has no talent, or whether it cannot even afford to hire a translator.
2. Similar to the first point, because the company refuses to hire professional translators, employees who know a second foreign language are required to help translate the company website. They have to spend their own extra time doing the translations and are not paid extra. The boss even wanted to ask overseas clients to help with the translations, treating foreigners as free translators.
3. The Christmas raffle prizes are things the boss’s family no longer wants, such as facial cleanser, no-name suitcases, and luggage bags given out by courier companies. Some long-time employees still cheer obsequiously, but winning this kind of thing is just helping the boss recycle their trash. It is not enjoyable at all.
4. The company turns on the air conditioning every day. Some people come in from outside, immediately say it is hot, and keep lowering the temperature without considering whether anyone else might be cold. Even when a cold wave hits, they still turn on the air conditioning. They would rather wear beanies and down jackets indoors while freezing than open the doors or windows or simply buy fans for ventilation.
There are also people who think that if the air conditioner is set to a higher temperature, the machine will sense that the room temperature has risen and keep blowing cold air, so the temperature must be set lower to prevent it from getting too cold. That kind of logic is truly genius.
