You can leave work on time.
After a typhoon day is announced, the company requires employees to check the wind and rain conditions the next morning before deciding whether to go to work. Before heading out, a colleague reported that the wind and rain were severe, but the supervisor only asked whether there was flooding. When the colleague said there was not, the supervisor replied, “Then that’s good,” and said we still had to go to the office as usual, handle the work, and only then leave early. When training newcomers, they say to ask if there are any problems, but senior employees and supervisors are obviously impatient with employees they dislike. Their instructions are often unclear, causing newcomers to make incorrect judgments, and then they blame us for not doing things based on “I thought” or “I felt.” Throughout the learning process, they basically treated me with a negative attitude. There was so much work that it was impossible to finish, leaving me overwhelmed. When I raised this with the supervisor, they simply opened their own notebook and told us that they had even more work, so we should arrange things ourselves. I also remember making a mistake during an especially busy period. After the supervisor yelled at and blamed me in front of everyone, I tried to ask a senior employee how to resolve it, but was immediately snapped at: “Are you asking me what to do now?” I genuinely needed an answer and wanted to solve the problem quickly, but in that predicament, aside from panicking, I did not know what to do. Things like this happened repeatedly, making me feel that the workplace culture was basically that you would only have a relatively friendly atmosphere if the supervisor liked you (although there would still be more work than you could finish). Otherwise, no matter how much effort you put into getting up to speed quickly, the moment you made a mistake, you would be criticized as though you were completely incompetent. This work experience only made me feel that I was terrible and useless.
