The office environment is fairly large. From time to time, there’s free food to enjoy, and there are many club activities, with an emphasis on sports (some even offer prize money 💰). The overall atmosphere is relaxed and comfortable. For some positions, it doesn’t matter if you can’t do the work yourself or get promoted—don’t be afraid. If you run into a supervisor you know or who won’t ask you to leave, you can just coast along until retirement. The food here is really good.

When is the e-commerce team going to be disbanded? This team’s existence is simply a waste of resources, spending all day supporting useless managers. First it was a middle-aged woman, then a middle-aged man (whenever he appears, he has to be introduced as the department head’s wife’s senior from school—oh, and his previous position was COO! Applause 👏). After more than three months on the job, I haven’t seen any strategic planning or improvements whatsoever. He is nominally an executive assistant, with a whole bunch of people listed under him on the organizational chart, but in reality he is an assistant to a manager who doesn’t even know what other people’s jobs are. Is he trying to live up to his title when reporting to senior management? What is the point of supporting someone who says nothing in meetings, can’t even report the results himself, has no sense of responsibility, and loves going outside to smoke? The meeting presentations he occasionally puts together on his own look like they’ve been run over by a car. To give an example of how out of touch he is: everyone else is already preparing to submit the report for the new year, while a manager is still explaining how to use Word instead of discussing the direction or goals for execution. Who on earth wants to listen to that? At what level of quality does someone think this kind of material is suitable for presentation at a meeting? Yet the people who allow someone like this to exist are the biggest problem here.
