Pros: A large company. Complies with the Labor Standards Act, provides free lunch without deducting from employees’ pay, and has motorcycle parking spaces for employees.
Cons: The overall work environment is outdated, the manager’s mindset and work style are old-fashioned, and communication is impossible. All work and responsibility are pushed onto frontline employees, while the manager earns a high salary and is self-important. They also continually send work instructions via LINE on holidays, and do not even let you off during the Lunar New Year.
When something goes wrong, they immediately push frontline employees out to take the blame. They do not coordinate work properly and only take work into their own department for the sake of their performance metrics, but! The work they take on is all done by frontline employees until they are worked to death, and protesting or raising concerns is useless. All you get is, “It’ll be quick!”
They often use going out to handle business as an excuse not to return to the company. Although there is no conclusive evidence, everyone knows perfectly well that they have already gone home to rest~
There is far too much to say; it can’t all be covered.
Oh, right—the promised raise will also be canceled a few days later! Then they hire new employees at higher salaries.
During meetings, they will even lose their temper at you in person and say, “If you want to take childcare leave, just go get your resignation form. It’ll be easier for me to find someone else.”???
Their speech lacks logic, they handle things chaotically, shirk responsibility, bully employees, and undermine employees in other departments as a matter of course.
Perhaps managers in other departments or higher-level managers know about these things, but… no one steps in to deal with them. They simply turn a blind eye, figuring that they can just hire someone else anyway.
My advice: If you choose to work in the “Administration Department,” in addition to being mentally prepared to deal with the manager, you must also be prepared to have (almost) everyone in the company treat you like a junior assistant and order you around. As for whether you can apply your expertise and abilities at work and gain a sense of achievement, wait until you have adapted to all of this before we talk about it.
