Workplace reviews and discussion: 頤和文化事業有限公司

The colleagues are fairly united.

1. The boss’s mood fluctuates greatly. It is said that someone saw him punching a tree in a park, but slamming tables and throwing things is considered normal.

2. The turnover rate is extremely high—so high that you won’t believe it.

3. He asks a lot of strange questions, including about your private life, such as whether your family has money.

4. He occasionally provides afternoon snacks, but is extremely stingy about them (for example, one steamed bun shared between two people; I’ve forgotten most of the details, but I vaguely remember it was generally like this).

5. There really are no cats here.

6. The boss basically does not pay overtime. You have to proactively ask him for it, but that comes with the risk of making him angry.

7. Previously, being one minute late was counted as an entire hour of pay being deducted.

8. Previously, when a female colleague had menstrual cramps, he said that it wasn’t him who was in pain, so how could she be sure that the pain was real?

9. When someone resigns, he usually does not hire a replacement. He tells the existing employees to fill in instead.

10. You may think that taking leave means you can really take time off. Wrong—you will work and reply to messages somewhere outside the office, and if he cannot reach you, he will call you.

11. What he says often does not literally mean what he says. You have to go along with him; otherwise, he will blow up again.

12. Previously, when someone resigned, he even slammed the table, leaving everyone completely stunned. He also would not let the employee log out of LINE, saying that he would do it for them, and directly forced them to leave. This left many people stunned, and they all went on to resign.

13. There is not much to learn, but he will require you to do many miscellaneous tasks, including things that have nothing to do with your work.

14. Doing a good job is considered merely expected. If your performance is only average, you will be scolded and criticized—let alone if you do a poor job.

15. The salary is completely disproportionate to the work.
