The colleagues are all very nice, and aside from senior management, the team atmosphere is very good.

The response to the Shumai post was, unsurprisingly, exactly as expected. The attempt to steer public opinion was so obvious: they claimed that the anonymous poster had fabricated or made up the facts, but in a company of 500 people, you really only need to ask internally to know what the facts are.

At external meetings, this general manager has also repeatedly behaved inappropriately: using vulgar language, shaking his legs, and not paying attention during meetings. I believe I am not the only person internally who has had this experience. He embarrasses the company yet takes pride in it; needless to say, his abuse of power within the company is even worse.

The reason people choose to remain anonymous is precisely because a bunch of paid supporters or industry peers will defend the company like this and blame the victim. Doesn’t this also happen to prove the network of connections that this general manager has cultivated using company resources over the past year? Verbal humiliation and PUA are wrong under any circumstances. Having to publicly express opinions in defense of someone like this, at the expense of your own career development, simply isn’t worth it.

As the previous post said, this was originally a very good company, but now it has truly become what people on social media describe: a place that blames the victim. If you can’t tolerate verbal humiliation, you are labeled a piece of trash, resulting in nobody wanting to express their opinions. Even when people think senior management’s ideas are problematic, managers either blindly support their own people regardless of right or wrong, or meekly obey and never dare to make a fuss, only shouting, “Yes, sir.”

A few days ago, they even held training on unlawful infringement. Senior management should be the ones taking this course to understand how they are infringing on others.

This company has become vulgar and mediocre, just like the typical Taiwanese company, so everything that happens is considered normal and reasonable. But if you originally expected to join a startup that was flat, had a good atmosphere, respected people, and worked hard, it used to be that way—but it isn’t anymore.
