The boss is a woman and a really kind, nice person. Sometimes she treats us to snacks and drinks, and the company also covers lunch on workdays, so you don’t have to pay out of pocket. Compared with other places, it’s very generous and a good company. The drawbacks mentioned below absolutely aren’t meant to say this company is bad, but rather concern a certain “bad apple” in the company.
If you’re applying as an apprentice, watch out for someone surnamed Yu. From my very first day at work, he started trying to manipulate me—he showed no consideration. I only realized after leaving that this was a frightening experience. Sometimes he may chat and joke with you, but that’s not 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 among nurses in hospitals. You must not offend the company’s “senior”—that is, the person surnamed Yu. He looks careless and flippant, makes exaggerated claims, and constantly lectures men: you say one sentence, and he’ll argue against ten. Having to spend nearly 10 hours a day at work 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 seniority as authority, 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 bad apple’s fault. He drives people away, then complains that nobody wants to come work there.
You think you’re here to learn technical skills, but in reality you’re competing with your senior 😊 He’ll manipulate and suppress you in all sorts of ways just to push you down. I don’t even know how many people he drove away before me, but he won’t tell you. If you really want to come, prepare yourself first for how to deal with this bad apple. I was simply too naive and thought I was only coming to learn technical skills. Take care, everyone.
