As long as you don't encounter the proposal phase, the work itself is fairly simple. Although some tasks are quite absurd—there are clearly more efficient ways to achieve the goal, yet you are always assigned the most troublesome approach—overall, the job is relatively easy. If you don't care about career development and just want to find a light, simple job to get by (the pay is correspondingly low, even though the boss thinks they are paying a lot), this job is very suitable for you.
1. The actual work bears no resemblance to the advertised position. You have to handle a great deal of miscellaneous administrative work, and some of the tasks assigned are extremely inefficient. Although the boss draws grand visions every day—currently paying you 20,000–30,000 a month while saying that your annual salary will eventually reach one million—you can observe and search for advantages as hard as you like, but you simply cannot see a future for the company.
2. The company's policies—or rather, the boss's ideas—are always making drastic U-turns, catching you completely off guard.
3. The supervisor constantly complains that the people the boss hires are so difficult to manage and that they are exhausted. Then the boss jumps in to meddle pointlessly, making things even worse for the outsourced colleagues who already cannot finish all their work. (BTW, what exactly are the supervisor's responsibilities?)
4. As mentioned above, wages are withheld, forcing you to seek mediation, file complaints, and take legal action (while being subjected to all sorts of obstruction from the employer) just to recover the compensation you are entitled to for your work.
5. Then, when you try to require them to pay your wages according to the contract, you discover that the employment contract bearing the company's seal was never returned to you (or perhaps only one copy was signed in the first place—there is no way to verify this). All you have is a confidentiality agreement reminding you not to disclose company information.
6. The boss assigns work in the group chat at three or four in the morning.
7. The more eager the boss initially appeared to be to hire you, the ten or a hundred times nastier they become when you resign—seemingly doing everything within their power to slander you, in front of colleagues and even out on the street.
8. The systems are underdeveloped, and the office environment is poor (the company is currently making adjustments).
