Workplace reviews and discussion: 宏裕汽車股份有限公司

None

Before coming in for the interview, I forgot to ask why the previous person had resigned. After joining and asking about it recently, the manager of the new department put on a pitiful act: “It’s all my fault, okay?”

Then he started complaining about the two product designers and the graphic designer, making it sound as though he had been bullied or deliberately targeted by two colleagues, and that things went wrong because they would not communicate with him.

Only later, when carrying out the work, did he reveal his true colors. He constantly made sarcastic remarks, belittled, looked down on, and scolded people. He pretended to understand things he did not understand, had a two-faced personality, and was indeed an old hand who was very good at wearing a mask.

He would also use his authority privately to pressure you into helping him with miscellaneous tasks. Once they were done, he would start drawing a strict line between public and private matters and continue putting on airs. He takes advantage of people shamelessly. A despicable person who is overly affected: he has no special expertise, but has thick enough skin to manage people, and ingratiates himself with the boss, which is why he can stay for so long.

Later, I also heard that he had unpleasant incidents with the management department and the former driver. He appears honest on the surface, but in reality his words are barbed and sarcastic. He would not let the driver have a reasonable time to eat, and also liked creating inconveniences for other colleagues, then blamed it on “because the work makes it impossible.” So how is that not a problem with your character?

I’m getting ready to leave this hellhole—88. Taiwanese workers do not want to come, so they can only recruit Vietnamese workers, treating people like livestock and managing them in a corrugated-metal building like a concentration camp.

If the supervisor is like this, of course the boss is no better. He is emotional and irrational in all sorts of ways and impossible to communicate with, a match for this manager. He complains constantly. The senior managers on this level of the new department are basically all men. Although there are female employees, it is obvious that men rule the workplace. Of course, the company would never admit it, so their speech naturally lets slip some disrespectful and objectifying attitudes toward women, along with dirty jokes and similar remarks.

All the senior managers here have a smoking habit. The company has no designated smoking area, so they all smoke in the pantry. You often end up inhaling secondhand smoke, while also having to remain superficially polite and ingratiating. Products are frequently revised and rejected, and staying too long will leave you mentally unwell and depressed. The previous person and I both experienced this, and it later affected our physical health. Think carefully before joining; there is no occupational injury compensation.

The job here requires very high IQ and EQ, because although the new department in this traditional industry appears to hope that the team will communicate with one another, in reality communication is impossible. If they tell you to produce something, you have to produce it immediately, as if you were working in a factory, and there is no room to negotiate or discuss things with the client.

If you cannot adapt, that is your problem. The superior has no problem, because they have been here a long time and have more experience than you, understand?

Any other questions? Hmph.
