Workplace reviews and discussion: 汎宇電商股份有限公司

If you want to slack off, the upper management will lead the way and slack off with you.

The company only starts treating you like a human after you’ve been employed for one year plus N months. Before that, you can say the benefits are basically nonexistent.

　　A certain self-important, supposedly virtuous manager is always going on about gratitude. Why not take a look at how many boxes on the cult checklist you’ve managed to tick?

　　They talk about gross margin all day long, but calculate costs by dividing the negotiated amount by the number of days＝manpower. Please don’t shoot first and then draw the target. After all that, it turns out the gross margin is squeezed out of the employees. Those who can’t be squeezed any further are simply fired, and everyone else is expected to share the burden and take over their work. OK.

　　They paint an incredibly beautiful big picture, but their promises are always in the future perfect tense—something that will never be completed. Has anyone ever worked on a project that you already knew would be impossible to finish before it had even started? There are plenty of those here! They don’t want to pay overtime but still expect people to work overtime. Wait, overtime can have a time limit too? What does “the project has reached a stopping point” mean? We can’t work any more?? In the end, is it more important to do the work properly, or is your manager’s KPI more important? I think it’s the latter. I also don’t know whether the boss and the managers are putting on a double act. Projects that are blatantly falling apart are met with absolutely no intention of improvement. During the weekly managers’ meeting, is the boss asleep the whole time? Fine, the company has plenty of money to lose. After all, annual revenue keeps growing, but none of your salary raises can even outrun inflation.

　　The colleagues are all great, but because of the managers’ wild flights of fancy, the hours are impossibly rushed. Everyone has to provide support here and there every day. When you say there aren’t enough people, they cite cost considerations; when managers don’t want to give you something, they call it company policy. Everyone has to spend huge amounts of time doing things that are fundamentally not part of their job title. Leaving aside the poor efficiency, taking on multiple roles doesn’t come with any extra pay either. A perfect setup for customers, vendors, and employees all to lose.

　　The project development process is ridiculously lax. Professional expertise is treated as background noise. People who do nothing are comfortably coasting, while those who do more are basically sustained by interest and a sense of responsibility. Raise an issue and you’ll be treated as a troublemaker or silenced. People who leave are either escaping or get fired as scapegoats.

　　Employee evaluations are a joke. Every six months, they waste your time having you write meaningless nonsense. Are the boss and managers blind? Can’t they look at the timesheets themselves? When it comes to raises, it’s all based on your subjective judgment anyway—does giving myself a high score actually help? And if the score is low, do you even dare cut someone’s pay? If it’s just a formality, please don’t make it so complicated. They place tremendous importance on attendance: one minute late＝30 minutes. Remote work requires your camera to be on the entire time. Boss～～being in front of the screen doesn’t mean someone is actually working, okay? There’s a certain privileged person who spends 80% of every day scrolling on their phone～

　　There are too many incidents to list. Too much ridiculous nonsense. I’ll add more if I think of anything.
