Workplace reviews and discussion: CARMAX_車美仕股份有限公司

Traditional industry culture, I suppose—the hierarchical mindset and bootlicking culture are extremely strong, making it suitable for newcomers who want to toughen up their stubborn streak.

The junior managers have no management experience and insufficient professional ability, yet love holding meetings. They assign work to subordinates, take credit when reporting upward, claim all achievements as their own, and blame subordinates for every mistake. Suitable for people who can endure hardship and swallow their grievances.

From time to time, you can learn “soft skills” such as arranging seating for meetings, drinking and competing at banquets, and organizing late-night gatherings.

There are office colleagues who act cute, fawn over junior managers for sympathy and attention, and create daily farces by angrily berating outside vendors without understanding the situation.

Don’t expect too much from the salary. You have to put in the years before you can get bonuses; everything else depends on the mood of those above you. If you are not in a key position, don’t even think about getting more.

People with ability and experience will only be treated as disposable chopsticks after joining. Junior managers pile on work and exploit you, then sarcastically ask why your performance is only at that level.

Colleagues make sarcastic remarks. Older people should definitely not try it: they do not value professionalism or ability, only verbal skills—making irresponsible claims, boasting, and exaggerating as a final trump card.

The junior managers put on even more airs than senior ones and do not respect people. They have poor character, pass incorrect information to superiors, and there has even been a workplace MeToo incident.

Parking spaces for cars and scooters are allocated by lottery even for junior employees; if you don’t get one, you have to figure it out yourself.

You can pay for lunch and join the group meal at the ninth-floor cafeteria (occasionally, little black Mickey-like animals run around).

There is no teamwork among colleagues; they fight internally over credit. The arrogance and prejudice seem to be a culture that did not form overnight.

The stories involving cliques and outsourced vendors are private and difficult to discuss. In short, you need someone to cover for you if you want to last long.
