Colleagues are generally very nice

I had a dream. The scenes in the dream were vivid and full of sorrow; allow me to recount it in detail:

1. Disrespect employees and professionalism, arbitrarily reassign work, and force pay cuts.

2. After Wang X, the company’s highest-ranking executive, made a forceful return, they arbitrarily laid off employees and pressured them to resign voluntarily. As a result, employees at the plant now have to juggle multiple jobs: they are summoned whenever they are needed and cast aside whenever they are not. This is extremely disrespectful to employees.

3. A certain manager is extremely irresponsible. Although they hold the key to the company’s production, whenever something goes wrong, they are often unwilling to admit their mistakes and keep bringing people out to take the blame. As a result, many capable senior managers and employees have been forced out.

4. The sales and marketing of the products are extremely unclear, the rules are frequently changed, and the production line is repeatedly sent back for rework.

5. The exterior looks very clean and attractive, but the internal operations are really something else.

6. Decision-making authority often rests solely with one particular manager. The hierarchy exists merely for appearances; the vice president is just a professional shield for the manager. Even when there are problems, the vice president is powerless to act, and when something goes wrong, can only be harshly reprimanded—having the title but none of the authority.

7. Employees with too much autonomy are singled out. Raising questions or suggesting improvements is treated as being unwilling to learn; they only like obedient employees who follow orders.

8. There are many employees who slack off, but the boss really likes them.

In short, winning the chairman’s favor is the way to success;

the so-called system cannot compare with the strength of one’s connection to a powerful patron.

Even hard, conscientious work cannot keep up with beautiful lies.

Sigh! I woke up from the dream—but the dream is still continuing.
