Workplace reviews and discussion: 易來數位娛樂有限公司

You can listen to music at work, and there are snacks and drinks available (but subject to a quota). The office atmosphere is relaxed and free. The three seasonal gift bonuses are pretty good (for people in their first few years after entering the workforce). The supervisors are easy to get along with, except for two of them.

1. You inexplicably end up with a pile of work that isn't yours. Before joining, I already knew this was a small company, so I could understand needing to take on a little extra work. But it got more and more absurd over time: marketing also doing graphic design, operations also handling customer service, accounting also doing administration. I've been cleaning out the refrigerator from the beginning until now, and now I also have to take care of a plant that's prone to bugs and dying easily. Time is all wasted on this garbage. The accountant has directly changed careers into a junior botanist—your second spring in life! The company has already paved another career path for you!

2. The deadlines handed down from above are extremely tight: an order is given today and has to be completed three days later, with two of those three days being holidays. (Additional debuff: infection numbers jumping by 200–300 every day, logistics completely stuck, and Google having problems while customer service only responds by email.) Stimulating employees' potential and promoting employee growth—where else could you find such an excellent company?

3. The instructions from above are very vague. This is how they explain things: “That thing we talked about last time! You remember, right? The one we mentioned before.”

May I ask—which thing is “that thing” =V=????

But once you successfully guess what the higher-ups mean, congratulations! You've unlocked the mind-reading skill! The company has found yet another way out for you!

4. The other supervisors are genuinely nice. It's just that mine is kind of weird.

My supervisor was parachuted in, so it was normal for me to explain the company's situation to him step by step. But as soon as he arrived, he dragged me into a small office to assert his dominance, interrogating me the entire time and demanding that I explain every detail of the company's situation. Fine, impressive resolve. If I could learn something from him, I would put up with it.

But I didn't learn anything from him at all啊啊啊啊啊啊啊!!!!

He has to be taught the same thing three times. I copy the notes over and over, and the next day he keeps asking. Damn, I even remember where I wrote it down the time before last, and the time before that, and the time before that—ballpoint pen ink is plentiful, but that doesn't mean it should be wasted like this.

I organize everything properly into a document, but he refuses to look through it even once, and won't even try retrieving the data himself. All understanding comes from one mouth, by asking questions. YA! Other people's time is plentiful, YA! Even without working overtime, I'm dragged into overtime, YA!

To be fair, what company isn't exhausting? You really can learn a few things here, but every day, just dealing with people's emotions drains most of your energy. And you still have to worry about whether you'll survive until tomorrow. It's pathetic.
