Finding joy in hardship with good colleagues

1. The company is full of redundant staff. The engineers responsible for the company’s financial lifeline lack the necessary skills, resulting in countless bugs and poor quality. When issues are reported, they just beat around the bush and make things up all day—and the boss still believes them???

The IT manager wanders around all day without doing anything, the graphic designer only works according to his mood, and the marketing editor negotiated a deal that almost lost money and came back for everyone to criticize, yet still thinks he is great all day long. The senior photographer, the ultimate villain, often pretends to be familiar with newcomers as if they were close friends, but is actually fishing for information and secretly snitching. He stirs up trouble among colleagues all day long, seemingly afraid that things might be peaceful. He is the only long-serving employee in this company who is ostracized by the other long-serving employees.

2. The supervisors and boss have poor leadership skills, and work is distributed unevenly. Those with little to do can sleep and scroll on their phones all day, while those who are busy are worked to the bone all day. Even when concerns are raised, they are brushed aside. Apart from the basic labor and health insurance listed on the job website, none of the benefits are actually provided. A company that does not even hold an annual year-end party makes it obvious why its employees lack team cohesion.

3. Don’t take on more than you can handle. The boss often comes up with wild ideas and launches a pile of projects that exhaust the employees. The supervisors always say, “I don’t know” or “I’m not clear on that,” or else simply pass the buck and dump the work on someone else.

The e-commerce department also often greedily orders excessive inventory, which ends up unsold, spoils, and is thrown away—an enormous waste. Boss, don’t you know that there are still many people in the world who don’t even know where their next meal is coming from? Wasting food will bring consequences.

Overall, the problem is not the employees, but that the boss does not know how to manage or take care of them, and that the company’s business strategies and policies are started with great fanfare but abandoned halfway. It is already a miracle that the company has managed to survive until now.

Life is precious; don’t waste your time here
