The company's full-time employee benefits are pretty good.
1. I had been working here as a student worker for over a year. Everyone who started at the same time as me passed their probationary evaluations, but their salaries were not adjusted. (The probationary period has its own evaluation criteria, and salaries can be adjusted as long as the criteria are met. We all met them, but the supervisor just said, “I’ll adjust it for you after some more time.”) I waited for over a year, and they still refused to make any adjustment.
2. Supervisors in other departments actively promote their student workers, but Maomao, the supervisor of the Operations Department, never promotes anyone and comes up with all kinds of excuses not to give raises. (They were unwilling even to make the most basic adjustment from probationary to regular status.) One student worker performed extremely well and had no shortcomings, but she was also told that her salary would be adjusted later.
3. As a student worker, whether you could take leave depended on the supervisor’s mood. At the time, I was still in school, so I informed them two months in advance due to academic reasons, yet I was still treated coldly and had my leave request form dismissively tossed back at me.
4. I notified them two months in advance, reminded them once the month before the leave date, and reminded them again during that week, but they said, “Why didn’t you tell me earlier?” ==?? I was completely baffled. I sent a screenshot of the conversation, and they only replied, “Oh.”
5. The Operations Department supervisor was unbelievably terrible. They constantly monitored what you were doing. (There was a system that recorded the number of products photographed.) I had diarrhea and went to the bathroom for 10 minutes, and they interrogated and berated me. Please—I had photographed the most products in the entire department that day.
6. At the time, full-time employees could request leave very easily. Four or five of us student workers, dissatisfied with the situation, went to ask full-time employees whether requesting leave was difficult for them. One of them reported to Ziyou-ge, and they said it was easy. Another was a full-time employee managed by Maomao, and they said that they thought my reason for leave was legitimate and that it should be fine, but I often saw how difficult it was for you student workers to get leave approved.
7. When a family member was sick and I needed to take leave to go to the hospital, they still interrogated me relentlessly about the reason for my leave. @@???
8. Once, a coworker needed to request leave (I don’t remember the exact date).
Suppose she wanted to take leave on 7/11 and submitted the request on 6/29. The supervisor never responded. She sent another message with a sticker on 7/10 asking whether she could take leave, and then the supervisor replied on 7/13, saying, “We’re short-staffed, so no.”
?? She requested leave for 7/11, but you replied on 7/13. @@ The date had already passed.
I’m genuinely baffled as to how someone with this level of management ability ever rose to this position.
9. The company isn’t bad, and the owner isn’t bad either, but the one and only flaw is that the supervisor is unbelievably, unbelievably, unbelievably terrible. Every time, the entire department is full of negative energy and complaints about this supervisor, and then at the all-hands meeting we see that they’ve been promoted again?
The owner’s only flaw is having poor judgment when it comes to people.
When she was promoted, she failed to notice how lifeless and gloomy the entire Operations Department had become.
People were even unwilling to applaud.
I really don’t understand how she ever got promoted.
(PS: At the time, she helped photograph the products. One supervisor photographed them in a completely chaotic manner, with many shots taken incorrectly, but no one dared say anything and could only quietly fix them afterward.)
***Summary: Absolutely terrible
