Workplace reviews and discussion: 格子國際有限公司

1. You can listen to music at work.

2. You can arrange your own work schedule.

3. You won’t work on the same floor as the boss.

4. It’s a good place for bad employees to stay.

1. The area is surrounded by factories, so the air quality is poor. There is often dust on the floor, and occasionally there are large cockroaches and huntsman spiders.

2. The boss doesn’t really manage things; the boss’s older sister is in charge instead (she works on the same floor). You have to chat with her. If you don’t chat with her, she gets unhappy, and she becomes irritable when speaking. You are also often emotionally manipulated during conversations. You cannot disagree with what she thinks is right. You have to get along very well with her before you can use your free time to handle personal matters; otherwise, she will let the boss know that you are doing unnecessary things during work hours.

3. It is inconvenient to buy meals.

4. There is a relative who sells perfume in the office. This relative accidentally damaged an employee’s bicycle twice, requiring repairs. The employee provided a normal quotation, but the relative was afraid to go to the bicycle shop to verify that the price was correct. Instead, the relative told everyone in the company that the employee was very good at cheating people out of money, falsely accused the employee, and even joined with all the employees in the building to socially ostracize that employee.

5. Problems with the perfume-selling relative: Drinks in the refrigerator mysteriously get consumed. When meals are ordered, someone has to help bring them inside; if no one does, this person will come out and take the most expensive lunchbox, then pretend not to know what happened afterward. The work area is very dirty and covered with cigarette ash, the floor is littered, and the tables in the photo studio are also dirtied. Three or more people in the office smoke.

6. Problems with the boss: The boss does not like coming to work, handles matters inappropriately, and does not dare communicate privately with employees about their problems, instead only making alarming claims and making assumptions about the situation. The boss does not seriously manage employees but still scolds them and blames many employees for having poor character.

7. The salary is very low, and the year-end bonus is always the same. Holiday bonuses are provided only in the first and second years; afterward, they automatically stop. There are no year-end parties or spring banquets at all.

8. For a period of time, the boss’s older sister came to work very late, and employees in the graphic design position also had to help with orders, without any salary adjustment. The boss pretended nothing was happening.

9. For a period of time, there was only one graphic designer working, with no salary adjustment, and the boss also pretended nothing was happening.

10. At first, employees were allowed to park their bicycles downstairs on the first floor, but later the policy changed and they were told they could no longer park there. The company went back on its word.

11. They talked about growing the company, selling hair accessories, doing livestreams, and so on, but there was no action to be seen. The only thing you could see was that the boss still had not appeared at the company. The boss did not keep their word.

12. After the employee resigned, the company could not find a graphic designer and asked the former employee to take on freelance work at 80% of the market rate, yet still thought they were being ripped off. They benefit from others’ work without understanding its value and have no shame.

13. Good employees are misunderstood as bad employees, and they find ways to drive them away. They really like bad employees.
