Claimed year-end bonus of four months—gone.

How much you actually receive depends on whether your supervisor likes you and what performance rating they give you (or how they treat you).

I’ve seen employees disliked by their supervisors receive the lowest rating outright.

All their hard work for the entire year goes to waste.

1. The office environment is old and the restrooms are dirty and foul-smelling.

Even the floor visibly shakes when someone walks across it.

I don’t know whether the building will collapse the next time an earthquake hits.

Cockroaches and mice are a given.

There isn’t even a single microwave for the entire company—only steam-heating cabinets.

If you want to heat up your lunch, you have to go to a convenience store.

The pantry is cramped and tiny.

You have to queue just to throw away trash, wash your hands, or get water.

This company has very little regard for its employees and is extremely inhumane.

2. The eight-hour workday only ever gets longer, never shorter.

In the more terrible departments, working two or three hours of overtime is nothing unusual.

At the end of every month, when accounts are settled, a bunch of departments have to work overtime.

Overtime pay or compensatory leave? Dream on ^^

3. The workload increases day by day.

Turnover is high, and the departments are chronically understaffed.

The unreasonable workload and unstable staffing

lead to low efficiency, creating a vicious cycle.

If the headcount is already full, it would be one thing if they simply refused to expand it.

But the departments are chronically understaffed, and supervisors only spout empty promises and paint grand visions to pressure existing employees into working overtime for free.

Capable people keep leaving.

The useless senior managers still nitpick and act arrogantly when interviewing new hires.

They think the company’s benefits are excellent.

They want obedient people with immediate productivity while offering low salaries.

Why don’t they go eat shit? ^^

4. Incompetent old-timers rule the company; new hires are disposable.

As mentioned above, most people who can stay in this kind of environment for a long time and become supervisors do so not because they are capable.

On the contrary, they have simply endured for a long time and are sufficiently servile.

They are not competitive outside and don’t dare change jobs.

They are also used to exploiting people below them and deceiving subordinates while concealing things from superiors.

I once saw a bald supervisor surnamed Lin from a second-level unit transferred back to the original department.

He understood nothing yet was self-important.

He meddled in things that were none of his concern, while pushing things he should have handled onto other departments.

He gave nonsensical orders all day and forcibly drove away more than half the staff from a department that had finally gotten on track.

He single-handedly ran the department into the ground—I truly admire him.

Overall, although they claim to offer a four-month year-end bonus,

which may seem better than many alternatives, all the hidden costs and sacrifices

far outweigh what you receive.

It is difficult to learn anything here, and the experience is not beneficial for changing jobs later.

The longer you stay, the more severely your abilities, passion, and health depreciate.

You become even less capable of leaving, and in the end you either fall ill

or become as muddled and incompetent as the old-timers.

There are countless other incidents, too numerous to list; the record of wrongdoing is endless.

I very strongly advise against joining this company.
