Workplace reviews and discussion: 普拉瑞斯創意整合有限公司

People who like being exploited and feeling pressure are welcome here.

I left more than five years ago. I still occasionally keep in touch with some former colleagues, and not a single one of them has anything good to say about this company. I don’t know what has changed during this time, because Tianyancha had gone down before, so my post was lost.

1. The year-end bonus depends on your performance review, and the score is entirely at the manager’s discretion. Plenty of people have had managers decide they were terrible and give them only 0.2 months’ salary as a year-end bonus. I only remember that one manager used to work at KFC, and all her assistants received extremely small year-end bonuses. When they asked why, they were told, “These are all duties within your job scope, so this is what you get.” So what exactly counts as work outside your job scope?

2. Clocking in and out is only used to prevent lateness and early departures. After all these years, there is still no overtime pay. The best policy is to leave as soon as working hours end. Don’t bother with those people who have no warmth at home and can only stay at the company—the useless ones. Whenever there is nothing else to say, they will tell you that everyone needs to weather hard times together. A former colleague said that at one monthly meeting, A accidentally let slip that even if the company made money, it might not necessarily share any of it with you.

3. That certain fat guy is now thin. Many years ago, his fixed salary was 300,000. Everyone can judge for themselves whether he was worth that much. According to information from the former international trade manager, exhibition expenses were all charged to the international trade department, including the costs of hiring escorts at night.

4. Because newcomers are exploited so heavily, the turnover rate is extremely high. I never expected that, after leaving, I would find out that the annual turnover could exceed 100 people. It seems that the certain design director’s frequent hysterical episodes may have gotten even worse.

5. People usually leave because they are unhappy with the work or because the pay is not high enough. Here, you can experience both. Many years ago, there were a large number of colleagues earning just over 20,000 a month; now, the pay is probably at most only slightly above the minimum wage.

6. Even if a core manager is useless, the company will still retain them. No matter how capable the people below them are, they will only be treated as disposable chopsticks. In the past, there was a web department. After the people under the manager resigned collectively, the manager also wanted to leave but was retained with a raise. In reality, he could not do anything well and was best at making presentations.

7. When the company asks you to go on a business trip, it does not care whether anything is happening at home. One colleague did not want to travel because his wife was pregnant, and A even said, “I’ve already bought your ticket. Should I go talk to your wife?” They also said the company valued him. After more than a year without a raise, that is what they call valuing you? Don’t be fooled by their rhetoric. When you go out there and work hard, money is the only thing that matters. If they are not increasing your pay, you do not need to listen to their nonsense.

8. Daily work reports are garbage. The fat guy reads them but never takes any suggestions into account. If you write the truth, he will only tell you not to put it in the daily work report.
