This is currently my third job, and I’ve been here for a year.
My first two jobs were also in the chemical industry.
I’ve actually never really understood why middle-aged men in traditional industries (around 40 to 50 years old)
seem to be unfriendly toward young people.
Here are some things I’ve experienced:
1. They care that young employees earn more than they do when they join the company (but I’m an engineer, while some of the people who resent this only graduated from a technical college or a private university of science and technology).
The company’s salary system was followed, but they deliberately kept making things difficult for new employees
or slandering them behind their backs.
2. The senior-junior system:
They clearly don’t really want to teach, but seem to think that young people must help them with their work—even when it isn’t part of their job responsibilities.
3. Minor mistakes can be endlessly magnified and replayed.
New employees will inevitably make mistakes, but even minor ones get blown out of proportion, as if new employees are all careless.
But when those older employees make mistakes themselves, they keep quiet and never reflect on their own behavior.
4. They like to act one way in front of people and another behind their backs:
Some appear very enthusiastic about helping new employees on the surface,
but criticize and badmouth them everywhere behind their backs (?).
After working at three traditional-industry companies, I really feel that they can’t retain young people.
Part of the problem isn’t even salary;
it’s the people.
The worst part is feeling like you’re working with a group of giant babies.
At best, you just stay out of it ⋯

A company asks employees to “do morning exercises and clean the environment”? The internet is enthusiastically nodding: “These 2 types of companies are extremely common.” People also revealed an “absurd workplace culture”: Serving tea on your knees still isn’t the craziest thing.
