I do not recommend joining the Systems Department. I used to be an employee there. Zhuo Zhiyan on the sixth floor has a violent temper and extremely low EQ. When he loses his temper, he will yell at and berate employees. However, after investigating, at least four out of five incidents are often caused by problems in his own programs. Before writing code, he draws no flowcharts or architecture diagrams and writes no comments. Most laughably, this “technical” supervisor, despite having more than ten years of experience, wrote code with SQL injection vulnerabilities. He also failed to properly close database connections, causing several of 104’s internal servers to require periodic restarts. A whole bunch of parameters that should have been read from configuration files were hard-coded directly into the programs. He did not know how to use frameworks or understand MVC architecture, which would be bad enough, but he also forcibly made you write programs his problematic way. He constantly played both sides: in front of others, he would say that he did not restrict what technologies you used and would let you use anything, but as soon as he turned around, he would yell at you: “Didn’t I tell you not to write programs this way!!!” When he noticed that your technical skills were better than his, he would deliberately make trouble. He would intentionally curse and yell at you in front of Wu Changrong, creating the false impression that you were causing him trouble. When he was in a bad mood, he treated subordinates as punching bags, speaking abusively and even making personal attacks. During my employment, I completed two projects. I handled everything, including the backend programs, scheduled-task programs, monitoring programs, the system administrator platform, all UML diagrams, cross-departmental communication, and contacting vendors. Then one day, his persecutory delusions flared up. He spent an entire afternoon repeatedly pressuring me, asking, “Are you planning to take the project I’m handling?” No matter how I explained, he kept repeating the same question until the end of the workday. I thought it was over, but the next morning, when he saw me at the office, he called me into a conference room, shut the door, and continued interrogating me. Unable to take the pressure any longer, I resigned on the spot. As soon as he heard that I was leaving, he went berserk and accused me of being ungrateful, saying that he had once helped raise my salary by NT$2,000 and that I did not know how to repay his kindness. He then began threatening me, saying that I owed him a personal debt and forcing me to repay it. Afterward, he went to complain tearfully to his backer, Wu Changrong. After hearing him out, Wu Changrong felt that he had been wronged, so he called me into a conference room……and suppressed me for a second round…… The final conflict occurred shortly before I left, when there was one last deployment request. The deployment time was later changed, but Zhuo Zhiyan did not notify me. On the afternoon after the deployment, the company’s QC department came to me and said, “Give me the code. I want to see whether you put any programs in it that could endanger the company’s systems……” The Planning Department then called to complain, asking why I had deployed things recklessly! Zhuo Zhiyan also yelled at me: “What the hell are you doing again!”…… It is not worth it. All I can say is that working at 104 is really not worth it. You do everything, but the people above deliberately frame you and make you take the blame, while after the project is completed, he gets the credit. In the end, he took credit for both of my projects, and Zhuo Zhiyan, who threatened me, was promoted. Meanwhile, he and his backer jointly pressured me into resigning, and when I left, I was still carrying a whole pile of accusations……
