1. It is recommended to stay at a non-headquarters location. It is very suitable for taking it easy, layoffs are unlikely, and you can leave work on time.
2. Apart from forgetting the duties and tasks you are supposed to perform, you can build physical strength (frequently moving offices and walking from a remote office to headquarters to use testing equipment), as well as develop packing and garbage-cleaning skills.
3. The job is a side gig; indirectly, you can cultivate many hobbies, such as keeping fish, growing flowers and plants, making coffee, and washing cups, bowls, plates, and utensils. (It would not be surprising to barbecue or cook hot pot in the office either.)
4. Employees at non-headquarters locations can almost always clock in before 10 a.m. (Working hours start at 9:00 a.m.)
5. Because the company is downsizing, it places employees who are still usable (obedient) on unpaid leave. (You do not need much project expertise or technical ability—just be obedient and have a strong subservient mentality.)
6. If you are highly subservient and do not expect anything in return from your work, this company will be a great fit for you.
1. Layoffs are unlikely, resulting in many redundant employees. (Veteran-level managers happily collect their salaries despite lacking the ability to secure resources; they frequently shirk responsibility, and of course their subordinates are the ones who suffer so the managers can meet their own KPIs.)
2. Even if you have been with the company for more than 10 years and have devoted considerable effort to it, managers often tell you there are no people or resources, ask you to weather the difficulties together, and expect you to shoulder the burden. You get only credit for hard work, with no opportunities for a raise, promotion, or additional staff. Managers live in their own Truman Show world, where simply saying something makes it happen as they imagine.
3. Because the company is downsizing and does not replace vacancies, it would rather place employees who are still usable (obedient) on unpaid leave than hire replacements or give the remaining employees raises or promotions. (The employees who remain are the ones who have to share the workload—not the managers.)
4. The company’s senior executives lack the ability to retain or manage professional technical talent. Decisions are made subjectively by a single dominant person, and those who remain are mostly highly skilled workers. The product and functional design capabilities are concerning.
5. The company’s PLM system frequently malfunctions.
6. Because the company’s headquarters has been leased to another company, only some departments can remain at headquarters. The other departments are scattered among rented offices elsewhere. If you need to use testing equipment, you frequently spend time traveling back and forth, which is very inefficient.
