Workplace reviews and discussion: 衣曼妮有限公司

One person per seat, one desktop computer per person

The company’s computers are very mysterious: some have AB permissions, while others have CD permissions. When you need to use one, you can only borrow someone else’s computer.

Even the manager’s computer is like this.

The restroom door looks like it’s about to fall off. During the first half of the day, you can occasionally hear flushing coming from the ceiling (presumably from the restroom upstairs).

The boss has a lot of counterfeit and plagiarized clothing—Disney, Warner, foreign brands… They treat copyright as if it doesn’t exist, while saying that they like innovation and creativity. They also joke about employees’ bodies, saying, “You eat pretty well. I’m just rather blunt—just kidding.”

Being tactless and treating it as amusing.

There is only one junior manager, a woman. She is the highest-ranking person after the boss.

The junior manager brings her emotions into her work, has unpredictable moods, and speaks in a very unpleasant tone.

If she has only mentioned something once in passing, the next day she will say, “I’ve told you many times. I’ve been saying it for days, right? Could you be more thorough?”

For things she never mentioned, she assumes I should have known and then asks why I don’t remember. It’s as if all employees can communicate telepathically and read minds.

The manager became impatient while organizing clothes herself and asked me to help. At the time, I looked around for a while but couldn’t find any hangers, so I started organizing the pants with clips.

The manager then blew up and said, “Why aren’t you organizing the clothes?”

Employee: “I couldn’t find the hangers, so I started organizing the pants first.”

Manager: “You should have asked me! Why didn’t you ask?”

Employee: “… (in my head: Why didn’t you say where they were when you clearly knew?)”

Manager: “We need to communicate. You should have asked me.”

Manager: “I know that when new employees first start asking me questions, my tone may not be very pleasant, so later you may be afraid to ask. But if there’s a problem, you have to bring it up. You need to be more thorough and think more. I know you don’t have work experience, so you’re more absent-minded. I’m not picking on you specifically—I want you to improve and get up to speed quickly.”

I only lack full-time work experience, and even if I had experience, I wouldn’t be able to read minds.

Besides, I had actually done many of the things the manager mentioned.

For example, I had organized the clothes scheduled to be shown on yesterday’s livestream, and put the same styles together.

But I don’t know whether a customer rummaged through them during mealtime. Anyway, when she went over, they weren’t hung according to style.

Then she said that I was absent-minded and not careful enough in my work.

And this was something I had done together with another assistant.

Was it all my fault?

Those are only two examples; there are far too many similar incidents to list.

A highly emotional, personal, and demanding manager.

And the pay is only the minimum monthly wage.

You don’t really learn anything.

It’s not as if I can go to my next job and tell the interviewer, “Hey, I’m really good at taking criticism.”

In short, only take this job if you can read minds.
