Workplace reviews and discussion: 上晴國際有限公司

None

This is a job that is not suitable for people without experience. You have to keep apologizing, either because you don't know how to do something or because you're asking about it and apologizing for that. (Of course, I'm not talking about simple questions that can be found online or that are obvious at a glance.)

(They asked me to write their in-house résumé, an extremely simple one. So the interview had basically nothing to do with my actual work experience.)

I worked there for three days.

Day one:

At the start of work, they introduced the simple cleaning tasks that had to be done every morning.

Then they immediately gave me three of the company's April posting schedules and asked me to write the articles. They told me to ask the team leader of the content editors if I didn't know how to do something.

Although I had said during the interview that I had no relevant experience, I don't ask other people how to do every single thing. If the answer can be found online, I try to figure it out myself first, and only then ask. But as soon as I sat down, that content-editor team leader spoke very loudly to me, saying that if I didn't know something, I should ask right away and not waste time. So whenever I really didn't know something, I would ask her, or ask her to confirm that the information was correct. But she always responded with an attitude that seemed to say, “You're so stupid—what's so difficult about this?” Several times, she also said things like, “Why don't you know this?” and “Haven't you done this before?” When I answered no, she would say, “It's this simple...” On my first day, I kept frantically apologizing for asking about things I didn't know. (That's right! They didn't clearly explain the tasks at all—they just opened the materials and told me to look through them and try doing things myself.)

Day two:

When I came to work, they again dumped different tasks on me, and I kept apologizing for not knowing how to do things. By the second day, no one had come to handle my labor insurance or onboarding procedures. (I did ask about them! The only response I kept getting was: “Someone else has been asked to handle it.”) That content-editor team leader said, “That's just my personality. I know I look fierce when I don't smile. Don't be afraid to ask, or you'll waste time”!? I was genuinely speechless.

Day three:

I was truly speechless. They didn't explain the work clearly, then blamed me for not asking. It was only my third day... How was I supposed to know precisely what you wanted based on the wording you used? You even told me that someone inexperienced like me needs to use my brain. What was that supposed to mean? Don't I have one? Whenever I asked, your attitude was so terrible...

After work, I called to resign. The boss, who had never shown any concern for me from hiring me after the interview through my resignation, said to me: “I had originally planned to give you training, because this job wasn't supposed to be something you figured out on your own...”

Ma'am... I figured it out on my own for three days... It's not that the job was especially difficult, but the attitude of your employees...
