Workplace reviews and discussion: 地球村出版有限公司

1. The teachers and classmates are all very friendly, like family.

2. The work environment and equipment are both good, and the environment is uncomplicated.

3. You don't have to go out to businesses or stores to do cold outreach.

4. There are two people working at each branch, so there isn't much backbiting in the break room.

(But having fewer people also has its drawbacks, which I'll mention later.)

1. I don't know whether this counts as a drawback. This job is performance-oriented by nature, and I knew that before joining. I chose a sales-oriented job because I wanted to earn a little more money, and of course I knew there would be performance pressure. You just have to adapt to each director's different management style. (I personally see this as training for adaptability.)

2. Same as above. Regarding those who criticized the area directors earlier, perhaps they were being pressured over performance? Their tone isn't always very pleasant when they reprimand you... but looking at it from another angle, the directors have also helped me close some cases, so they must be under quite a bit of pressure too. (When classmates are furious, they specifically ask to speak with them...) Put yourself in their shoes: if I became someone in this role one day, how would I manage both people and their morale while also meeting performance targets? In short, as long as you handle the matters that need to be handled and do your best on performance, things are basically peaceful.

3. This may or may not count as a drawback too: coworkers. (You run into unhelpful teammates in every workplace; objectively speaking, you can't blame Global Village entirely.) It is incredibly frustrating to encounter irresponsible coworkers who leave things undone, coast until the end of every day, act as if everything is your responsibility just because you're more experienced, and show none of the attitude of a newcomer. They don't do anything when you explain things nicely, then blame you for not teaching them when something goes wrong; say one word to them and they take it personally. We're all adults who have entered the workforce—what are they so sensitive about? On top of that, they don't answer the phone and disappear for the entire day, leaving you to cover their shift at the last minute. (There are only two people at each branch, so when one person suddenly doesn't show up, it burdens the other.) Then they show no remorse whatsoever and suddenly say they're quitting! Dragging everyone else down like that is truly awful!

There have been too many negative comments here, so let me give a calm conclusion!

I believe that no matter which workplace you join, you need to have a basic understanding of work and the right attitude. You also need to adjust your mindset and deal with whatever situations arise at work; only then can those experiences become your own. A friend of mine started a restaurant and it wasn't any easier—they also encountered some ridiculous employees who didn't show up the next day or slacked off, constantly hiding away and scrolling on their phones...

Having lots of money, little work, a short commute, and easygoing coworkers—getting everything at once is not very likely. It's as difficult as looking for a boyfriend who is tall, handsome, rich, gentle, considerate, generous, loyal, not a cheater, and always available whenever you call... You just have to decide which factor matters most to you.

Take responsibility for the choices you make. If you choose to work here, make good use of the opportunity to earn money or improve your interpersonal and task-management skills. If you decide to leave, make sure to hand things over properly so you don't cause trouble for the person who takes over. The Global Village work environment really isn't bad; as for problems with people, that's simply a matter of luck that you encounter in every workplace.

We're all just out here trying to make a living, so why make things so hard and exhaust your coworkers?!.
