The employee turnover at this company is far higher than you could imagine. You might see a new employee today, only to find out they have been laid off the next day. Employees can be dismissed without any reason—it simply depends on whether the boss takes a liking to you. You can also hear him arguing with employees at any time, and I am not exaggerating: arguing with the store staff on the first floor, then with the people on the third floor, and not letting the fourth floor off either. He keeps making things difficult for people and arguing. Every little thing is subject to rules: you are not allowed to fold your arms, put your hands in your pockets, or put your hands behind your back. He just loves making rules about these trivial matters. Also, you are really not allowed to use the bathroom for a bowel movement. He spends all day at the company policing these things. There is no future here.

No matter what employees do, he is never satisfied. Every employee has already done things according to what he said, yet he still tells employees not to work mindlessly. He does not understand, but he still pretends to; he also will not allow anyone to correct him, and then gets angry. As soon as he catches you making even the tiniest mistake, it is over—he keeps making sarcastic remarks about you. No one in the entire company is willing to talk to him, let alone the oppressive atmosphere. It is oppressive every day.

The most frightening thing is that he insists employees eat with him, arranging something called a “company day.” That day is when he berates the employees; he scolds everyone and never himself. This boss does whatever comes to mind. He has absolutely no plan when doing things, yet tells employees that they need to plan. He drags his feet over doing one thing himself, yet tells employees to be efficient.

He most often says he wants to “lead” everyone and “guide” everyone, but he does not understand anything and cannot do anything!

Every morning, he sits at the store early to see who is late. Even being one minute late gets you lectured—if he does not lecture people, he feels uncomfortable. He requires employees to say good morning on WeChat before leaving home, and after arriving at work, to say good morning when they see their colleagues. He is always controlling meaningless things. Does saying good morning make money? Does saying good morning mean that employees have good relationships with one another? He also says that colleagues are like brothers and sisters and calls it corporate culture. He really has issues!!

A new employee had been on the job for less than a day when he started criticizing this and that—criticizing the employee for not standing properly, telling them not to fold their arms and to keep their hands relaxed at their sides. He is always making personal attacks.

The boss himself is doing some kind of health management. As soon as company day arrives, he announces that the theme for today is salad and actually forces everyone to eat salad.

Every day, his favorite thing is finding fault with employees. For example, when he sees an employee, he asks, “How are you?” without any context at all—what is that supposed to mean? Or he deliberately throws a piece of trash on the floor to see who will pick it up. If no one does, he then scolds everyone.

I heard that an employee became seriously ill with chickenpox, yet this boss still forced the employee to come to work. Chickenpox is contagious—how can he not even know this basic fact? It is frightening.

Do not go to this company—really, don’t. This kind of work environment is unhealthy, and a boss who lacks empathy is not someone you can work for. It will damage your health, and it is not worth it.
