Workplace reviews and discussion: 樂衍有限公司

The colleagues at the time were all great partners.

“How can someone who cannot even manage their own emotions manage employees?”

This was a remark that opened my eyes one day.

The only advantage here was meeting like-minded partners who fought alongside me (they should all be gone by now, haha), but I never encountered a capable leader.

An incompetent commander can destroy an entire unit without even going to war. No matter how many strong soldiers they have under them, if they do not know how to recognize and employ people effectively, making the most of each person’s strengths and talents, it is all for nothing.

Not long after I first joined, I discovered that no one in the department had been there for six months, and almost no one on the same floor had been there for a year. It was clear there must be a serious turnover problem. Sure enough, the problem lay with “people.”

It was truly an eye-opener. There were two people mainly responsible; birds of a feather flock together—one overt, the other covert.

The person in the management position could not control their temper, repeatedly handling emotions by breaking down in tears, flying into a rage, and interrogating others, or even taking it out on them. It happened so often—once a week—that it affected everyone around them, yet they were completely unaware of it.

As a manager, they could not provide assistance or solutions to problems, and would only say, “So what?”

That’s why you can’t retain any employees.

Please don’t come here only to be subjected to psychological abuse—unless you want to experience workplace PUA.
