The boss is a woman and a really nice person. Sometimes she treats us to snacks and drinks, and the company also covers lunch at work, so you don’t have to pay out of pocket. Compared with other places, it’s very generous and a good company. The shortcomings mentioned below absolutely do not mean that this company is bad—they concern a certain “rotten apple” at the company.
If you’re applying as an apprentice, watch out for someone with the surname Yu. From my very first day at work, he started trying to emotionally manipulate me, with no consideration for how I felt. I only realized after leaving that this had been a frightening experience. Sometimes he may chat and joke with you, but that isn’t because he wants to get to know you—it’s because he happens to be in a good mood and feels like talking to you. Oh, and the reason I say this is that this industry has a seniority system, similar to the senior-junior system in hospitals. You must not offend the “senior” at this company—the one with the surname Yu. He looks careless and acts cocky, constantly making exaggerated claims. Whenever you say one thing, he counters with ten things, using all sorts of lecturing and machismo. Having to spend nearly ten hours a day with someone like this is painful. If you show even a little impatience or get emotional, he won’t go easy on you either! Using his authority as a senior, he will ruthlessly suppress you and erase your opportunities to grow.~ A large part of the reason this company can’t recruit apprentices is definitely this rotten apple’s fault. He drives people away and then complains that no one wants to come work here.~
You think you’re here to learn technical skills, but in reality you’re competing with your senior. 😊 He’ll mess with you in all kinds of ways, using psychological manipulation and pressure to keep you down. I don’t know how many people he drove away before me, but he won’t tell you. If you really want to come, prepare in advance for how you’ll deal with this rotten apple. I was simply too naïve and thought I was only coming to learn technical skills. Take care, everyone.
