No need to clock in or out for work
I recently had a nightmare and thought I'd share it with everyone.
1. "You can be asked to leave at any time"
That's right—let's get straight to the point.
This is a company where you can be asked to leave at any time,
even if you haven't committed any serious misconduct or offended anyone.
They may suddenly tell you that you're unsuitable for the position and dismiss you.
You can't really argue, because when you report for work, they require you to sign a consent form.
2. "Don't trust the boss too much"
During the interview, they said the work was very simple and easy. (That's right—the boss conducts the interviews personally. I've heard that he personally interviews every employee.)
After actually starting work, I found that it was completely different.
Of course, from the very beginning, I wasn't applying just because the work was supposedly "simple and easy."
The company's clients are major hospitals.
Some hospitals have their own unique regulations.
As employees, we have to accommodate them (which is only right—the customer comes first).
I mention this to tell everyone that this is precisely why the work isn't "simple and easy."
At ordinary companies, the procedures for receiving and shipping goods are standardized.
It's difficult to make mistakes if you follow the SOP.
But "X-Wei" is the exact opposite. Perhaps only half of the procedures are standardized.
A lot of things have to be memorized specifically (notes, memos, your brain—however you want to remember them).
So for a newcomer, it definitely isn't an easy job to get started with.
During the interview, they mentioned that their employee turnover was very low,
and that the year-end bonus was very generous.
That's right—I was fooled again.
From the time I joined until I resigned (the key point: it was a very short time),
I knew of two or three people who had left.
As for whether they left voluntarily or were dismissed, I didn't ask in detail (why would a rookie need to know so much?).
Following from the above: Is the year-end bonus really that good? Can you be sure you'll still be there when the day comes to receive it?
I agreed to join in the first place because of the company's background in the healthcare industry.
I thought it would be relatively stable.
Now, speaking as someone who has been through it, I'd advise everyone:
If you've read this and still want to give it a try,
that's OK for young people—it can be a learning experience.
But for middle-aged or older people with financial pressure, I wouldn't recommend it.
This dream really left a deep impression on me.
Luckily, I woke up. ^0^
