At a certain client site, you often hear claims that a certain project will make the company a pioneer in the industry and create an innovative system that can improve the company’s efficiency and competitiveness. They also say that if it is unsuccessful, they will take full responsibility, and so on. The truth is that whenever nothing is happening, they mention hearing that other teams have achieved good results too, but claim that they believe this project can help the company break through even more. In fact, they are merely using other people’s words to endorse themselves. As the project develops, the problems keep getting bigger. Every day, they make a mountain out of a molehill and stage palace-intrigue dramas. Whenever they cannot categorize a problem, they start lashing out at people as soon as it appears; when looking for a scapegoat, they pin a wonderfully grand label on someone, making the atmosphere throughout the company extremely unpleasant. The old-timers neither cooperate nor listen to others’ opinions; they only want to find people to boss around. At present, we can only somehow survive until the end of the year—there are only six months left, and they do not care. Also, watch out for that person with the surname Hsu, who handles review manipulation for the company and serves as the boss’s informant (it cannot be ruled out that there are others at different client sites as well). So go ahead and join this team.
