I hope this company can change

New graduates, take note: everyone who escapes is radiant, glowing with vitality, in good health, and wishing you all the best.

Xu✠Long: An emotionally manipulative manager who sets high demands, has a bad temper, and offers zero support. Even when the information you have is incomplete and the structure is unclear, he still demands that you hand in a finished product immediately. You edit the videos, write the reports, and come up with the proposals; he explodes in anger, hurls insults, and gives you the cold shoulder—he does it all. When something goes wrong, he absolutely never reflects on why he failed to explain things clearly or make proper arrangements. Instead, he immediately throws out: “How can you be so careless?” Then he pretends to be someone who was “betrayed” by an incompetent employee, as if you owed him your life.

Li✠Yu: Loves stealing the spotlight in every event that has nothing to do with him, always making the atmosphere in meetings feel as if he were standing on an international stage accepting an award. There are certainly more people offstage than onstage. Has he ever taken someone else’s mistake and used it as his own script? Of course! The point is never to solve the problem, but to perform his victimhood. Decision-making is never part of his responsibilities, but he is always the first to express an opinion, solely so everyone can see how hard he is working and how helpless he is. To put it bluntly, the work may not necessarily be done well, but the performance is always fully delivered.

jack: Focuses on making sure no one understands the situation. He is always saying, “Of course there’s a structure, of course there’s a process, of course there’s someone responsible.” But when you actually ask him about it, he directs you down a route you can never reach the end of, as if you were looking for information but had walked into a maze. He always leaves you struggling with fragmented information: ask this person and they don’t know, ask that person and they aren’t sure. In the end, all you get is: “Just start working first—hurry up.” Then, when something goes wrong, he can still say, “How could you not know?”—as if he had thrown responsibility away long ago.

james: A meeting addict, professionally issuing orders while never making the core issue clear. His communication style is: say A today, overturn it tomorrow, and hold another meeting; then change it to B, overturn it again, and hold another meeting. The entire project just goes around in circles in the maze he created. Every day he says he wants to improve efficiency. Of course! In practice, this simply means trapping you in countless pointless meetings and last-minute changes. You think there is a schedule, but in reality there is only one sentence: “Everyone just needs to try a little harder.” His instructions come quickly, change quickly, and disappear quickly too; you never know where the next goal is.
