Workplace reviews and discussion: 紅心辣椒娛樂科技股份有限公司

The managers in the other departments are all very nice, and my colleagues are easy to get along with too.

The manager surnamed ㄓ in the Marketing and Public Relations Department always gives unclear instructions about the work and speaks incoherently; he cannot use computers or the shared drive, which causes discrepancies in the files and messages every time. He also damaged the woodwork but did not dare admit it to the creator, instead pushing all the problems onto his subordinates. When firing someone, he said just one thing: “I’m your manager. If I say I’m firing you, then I’m firing you. You’re not at fault, so that means I’m at fault—it’s all my fault!”

I responded to every incident he brought up with reasoned evidence, and in the end he got embarrassed and angry and slammed the door as he left.

From the day I joined until I resigned, I never once handled the work content described on 104.

At first, he said: “I don’t know how to use a POS machine, and I’m an idiot when it comes to 3C products. Learn properly from the managers of the other departments—e-commerce, inventory checking, and all of that.” (But I’m not a warehouse clerk.)

Then later he said: “You’re not in e-commerce! I never told you to learn that! You can’t even do simple things properly—how could I dare assign you anything else?”

On the day he fired me, he said that, as a senior specialist, not knowing how to print labels was a fault.

I calmly said: “I had only been here for six days. You asked me to learn how to use the label printer, and I did. The incident involving the label printer that day was something even my department manager had never encountered. I swallowed my pride and asked a colleague who was on leave for help, then searched for instructional videos on YouTube to learn. What exactly is the standard for calling this an error?”

He did not know what to say, so he did not respond to that topic.

After that, the conversation consisted of him very emotionally claiming that there were inventory errors. However, when we actually checked, the items with incorrect inventory had been entered into the POS machine by him himself.

If the data had been imported from an Excel file, I had organized the product names, inventory quantities, costs, selling prices, and barcodes into a single file.

But the items he added himself had none of that information (because he did not know how to use the system), which caused the report given to the vendor to even show “negative inventory.” His response was: “The person who created the records doesn’t know how to use it.” The person he was referring to was me, but I was not the one who created those records at all. ^^

He left me alone to count the inventory for six IPs. Because one creator said they wanted residue-free labels, Procurement and the director confirmed it eight times! Eight times! In the end, they still bought the wrong size and product (possibly because the adhesive melted under a halogen lamp). I told the manager surnamed ㄓ that I could not finish it alone, and he said: “If I can finish it alone, why can’t you?” (Also, no one notified me when the goods arrived on Monday; I only discovered them myself in the afternoon. On Tuesday, HR forced me to take a day off because I had worked overtime too many days. On Wednesday, when I came to work, they told me the goods had to be shipped on Thursday, yet the goods were still completely untouched and had not been counted at all. I was just: ?)

I do IP marketing—not administrative assistance or warehouse management—and I should certainly not have been the only person handling all of this. In the end, he even shouted that he was going to sue me.

Not a single task mentioned during the interview was something I actually got to do. Instead, I did all the other tasks, took the blame for everything, and my salary did not even comply with the requirements for “salary negotiable.”
