New facilities, clean and attractive, spacious, and comfortable offices
People compete to be the loudest; whoever scolds first gets the upper hand.
Or they stay quietly silent and claim not to know anything, waiting to watch you make mistakes. Who knows how the procedures are supposed to work? Aside from the long-serving deadwood, there is a constant flow of supporting characters. The supporting characters exist merely to highlight the importance of the deadwood.
The Sales Department is even more entertaining. Newcomers have to know how to curry favor with the influential people; otherwise, no one will teach you. They just throw out, “Wasn’t that covered in the training? Read it yourself.” How much can be taught in a half-day training session that is rushed through once? Often, they barely understand it themselves.
Newcomers have to learn to show constant loyalty to the slightly overweight manager and curry her favor. Otherwise, she will deliberately fail to explain things clearly or not respond, and may even incite others to block you, just to demonstrate her managerial authority.
Colleagues may also try to compete for the position of second-in-command and engage in indescribable behavior. Unless you are good at internal power struggles, I advise you to leave. Life is short—don’t get trapped in the mud!
