The following criticisms concern a certain junior supervisor and have nothing to do with anyone else.

This person is skilled at rubbing salt into other people's wounds. Now I am doing the same to him, hoping he can experience how others feel; the coded messages in the salt crystals are deciphered below:

1. This young junior supervisor rose to prominence early, thinks highly of himself, is overconfident and complacent, speaks harshly, and loves to lecture people. His tone is bureaucratic and affectedly mature! He likes to deliberately act as though everything is handled strictly according to procedure, but in reality he lacks empathy, cannot hear other people's voices, and disregards their feelings and ideas. He is like a glass filled to the brim with water, condescending and arrogant!!! After every conversation, he always likes to tell others to go back, calm down, and think it over (rather than saying that we should all calm down first), so the other party only gets angrier after each conversation!!! Yet he always thinks he is 100% in the right; even when others apologize and take responsibility, his attitude and tone remain high-handed, forceful, and harsh. This puts employees who are not articulate at an extremely unfriendly disadvantage. During conversations, this person also likes to use the fact that he is speaking from the company's position to pressure others, while failing to hear the core concerns they are trying to communicate.

2. He also never puts away the experimental tools after using them, and there is no designated place for them. As a junior supervisor, he has not managed this properly, resulting in other colleagues saying that they cannot find things.

3. When an employee voluntarily expressed an intention to resign, the employee had already explained that they would handle it themselves after making the necessary preparations. Although this junior supervisor had a duty to report the situation at the site to his superiors, he instead went ahead of the employee's plans and reported to the superior alone, without consulting the employee or going together, seemingly trying to catch the employee unprepared. It is difficult to say that there was not even a hint of a retaliatory feeling or implication!!! This was very immature, underhanded, and disrespectful of others. Most importantly, when speaking with an employee who has submitted a resignation application (and has already begun the process), a supervisor should become courteous and polite, rather than continuing to act like a sharp and domineering superior addressing a subordinate. It was truly astonishing and something I had never seen before!!! During the conversation, he even ordered the other person not to interrupt him. The problem is that what he said clearly did not reflect what the other person meant or wanted to express, yet he repeatedly and forcefully twisted the other person's words and domineeringly refused to let them correct him, creating a sense of authoritarian oppression!!! Why should anyone have to sit quietly and listen to you smear them!!! The employee had already resigned, yet he still used that commanding tone—are you their father or mother!!! I have never encountered a command-oriented, domineering supervisor with such worrying emotional intelligence, such poorly considered handling, such a lack of subtlety, and so little management experience! His stubborn temper is practically indistinguishable from a rock; he completely fails to understand the principle of each side taking one step back. He often tells others to be humble, yet treats others arrogantly, without being aware of it himself. For example, when a senior colleague mentioned an optical field, this junior supervisor immediately replied without thinking or even asking questions, directly saying that the others did not understand. This was extremely disrespectful to everyone else present! How do you know that others have never worked in that field? What makes you think that everyone else does not understand! In fact, someone present had previously obtained a patent related to X-rays, yet had to endure being verbally suppressed and ignored by him. It was truly impolite.

To add another detail concerning “interrupting others,” there was also a separate incident. When an employee tried to explain that the current situation and its causes might have resulted from having no relevant prior experience, this junior supervisor showed no mercy and interrupted, subjectively deciding that the person was simply making excuses. This left the employee feeling helpless, oppressed, and extremely disrespected.

4. Since the site has not established a clear set of house rules, it is inevitable that new employees may be scolded or instructed without knowing the rules. Moreover, the incident was unintentional and was not repeated afterward. Nevertheless, this junior supervisor particularly enjoys bringing up and settling every past matter at once during arguments, as though keeping a score of old grievances, with a strong sense and implication of retaliation! This makes him appear extremely petty and narrow-minded!!!

5. Continuing from the above, when someone mentioned that he was not broad-minded enough (the person being addressed only said it once or twice), this junior supervisor actually refused to back down and gradually said during the conversation that the other person was not “open-minded”!!!!! (At least five times.) He tried to overwhelm the other person by sheer repetition, making himself—the junior supervisor—appear even more petty and narrow-minded!!! He also turns your own words around to attack you, only seeking to win an argument and completely disregarding other people's feelings. He has never considered the far-reaching impact that such caustic words could have on others, or that they could even endanger someone's life. He seriously lacks the demeanor expected of a “male” supervisor. Whether he is suitable to serve as a supervisor should be reassessed!

6. When this junior supervisor gets into an argument with someone, he grabs onto minor past mistakes that were not repeated (for example, forgetting to take out the trash) and exaggerates and sensationalizes them. He uses extremely malicious language (such as “watching a joke”) to reinforce and dramatize the incident, humiliating the new employee's self-esteem, instead of introducing the company culture and points to note in detail through guidance when the newcomer first joined. Furthermore, while humiliating the newcomer, this supervisor himself forgot that he had a meeting with the boss at ten o'clock on Monday morning and went off to provide training for someone else, making everyone wait for more than 40 minutes until the boss became angry. This junior supervisor has worked at the company for nearly three years, yet still made such a mistake. Is that not an even bigger joke!!!!!!!

This person is skilled at using a machine-gun-like mouth during arguments, firing all his words at others in an instant and leaving them unable to respond! Such a lack of empathy and disregard for other people's mental well-being are truly worrying signs of poor character.

7. This person appears to silently endure things, but privately tells another person (his friend) everything, allowing that person to stand up for him. He fails to understand that matters between himself and the other person (who had already apologized) should be discussed one-on-one, rather than bringing in reinforcements and using a two-against-one approach to cleverly put the person being addressed at a disadvantage. Moreover, his manner of speaking during the exchange was aggressive and intimidating, raising serious suspicions of bullying!

8. He suddenly told others that they should respect the administrative “older sister” (which was hilarious—no one ever said she should not be respected! Besides, there was fundamentally no opportunity to interact with her before leaving the company), yet a former graphic designer who had already left (if I remember correctly, it was a former graphic designer) once described him as “a glass filled to the brim with water.” That person probably also sensed this junior supervisor's arrogance and harshness. In that case, it seems that the junior supervisor is actually the one who does not respect administrative staff very much!

9. Finally, a good R&D engineer is not necessarily a good technician, especially if they have no background or relevant experience in the field! It is like having an excellent doctor do construction work on a building site: they may not necessarily do it better than the workers there!

Conclusion: Communication with others should be sincere, considerate, and calm, rather than arrogant and overbearing!!! In group meetings, respect other people's expertise and remain humble instead of instantly declaring that everyone else does not understand!!! This kind of pride, complacency, and self-righteous attitude is truly unacceptable. In addition, as a junior supervisor, one should learn to respect and consider other people's feelings, and listen a little to their voices and concerns, rather than constantly attacking them and deliberately twisting their words, creating a sense of authoritarian oppression!!! Treating others this way is extremely impolite and disrespectful. In communication, one should be willing to let matters go rather than ensuring that no one at the entire site can ever win an argument against them.

That is all.
