If you have an impressive educational background and are good at making grand promises, you can still be valued by the boss even if you lack ability. There is already a successful case involving a National Chiao Tung University graduate.

The company lacks a sound performance-audit system for managers, resulting in a certain manager who:

1. Sets salaries solely according to educational background, so a blank slate from a prestigious university may earn more than you despite your abilities.

2. Lacks managerial ability, causing the team to do a great deal of futile work and waste several months of the entire team’s成果, which is also difficult to correct afterward.

3. Acts arrogantly because of the prestige of having attended a prestigious university and almost never listens to others’ opinions.

4. Receives a high salary but does almost no work, and only shifts the blame when something goes wrong.

5. Has an extremely poor management system and clearly lacks leadership qualities, leaving the team with no cohesion at all.

6. Abuses company resources by falsely reporting overtime hours and overtime pay.

7. Frequently holds one-on-one sessions with subordinates to make grand promises, but this is entirely a waste of everyone’s time. What team members really need is a manager with technical expertise.

8. Lacks managerial experience and technical skills, resulting in performance evaluations that are completely unreliable and may even cause the team to lose genuinely talented people.

9. Disrespects professional expertise and assigns work randomly. Have you ever seen a mage wielding a greatsword or asked a warrior to cast fireballs? That happens frequently here.

10. Despite all the incidents and shortcomings, the boss continues to believe in this manager because the manager had already earned the boss’s trust earlier.
