A very traditional company. The company makes a profit for the year, and the benefits are quite generous. The annual salary is said to be equivalent to 16–18 months’ pay. A hidden benefit is that there is a Living Dharma reading group every month, and employees need to attend two days of meditation retreat every November.
The head of the IT department was also parachuted in from Sinyi. He claims to have led several teams, but just by watching him plan a project, you can tell that this manager is completely incompetent. He only gives a vague outline, and then one person has to do everything from start to finish—a one-stop, end-to-end concept. At times like this, he says that this is how the people under him used to work. If your approach differs from his, he insists that you follow his ideas. However, he actually explains nothing and immediately starts making sarcastic remarks toward you. After the work is completed, he takes all the credit, making it seem as though everything was his achievement.
Furthermore, since he was parachuted in from Sinyi, he apparently also had a contract with them. Occasionally, you hear him complain that Zhushang’s systems and ideas are too outdated, while repeatedly saying how good Sinyi is. If that is true, then why didn’t he return to Sinyi after his contract with Zhushang ended? Obviously, Sinyi does not recycle its resources. If this IT manager were really so outstanding, how could Sinyi have let him remain outside the company for so long? In conclusion, this IT manager is truly terrible.
The head of the Marketing Department often complains about how hard she works, but every day she arrives later than everyone else and leaves exactly on time. Her subordinates often work overtime until 8 or 9 p.m. before going home, and she seems completely unaware of it. Whenever she takes a day off, her subordinates are happier than anyone else and may even order drinks to celebrate. Also, at every meeting, someone has to specifically move the chair she is accustomed to sitting in for her, making her act as though she were an empress dowager.
Finally, the IT and Marketing departments have a very close relationship, so you often see these two managers hiding in a corner whispering and criticizing decisions made by the chairman or other department heads as stupid. They seem completely unaware that while criticizing others, they are also quietly becoming the subjects of other people’s criticism and amusement.
