Workplace reviews and discussion: 領袖公關有限公司

Recruiting fresh graduates during the busy season, then creating obstacles and making things difficult for them in every way during the off-season until the newcomers resign on their own.

There are only a few people in the company, but the turnover rate is extremely high. During the busy season—especially election season—the workload is brutal, with overtime every day. The boss even hypocritically blames the employees for the mistakes, saying that their poor efficiency wastes his electricity costs.

The female supervisor has a very bad temper. She takes out her anger on employees over even trivial matters, such as a cabinet not closing properly. She also deliberately uses underhanded tactics to create mistakes for employees. For example, an artist once sent files to the printing company and called to confirm that everything was correct before leaving work. However, the female supervisor deliberately told the printing company to print the draft she had made herself instead of the artist’s. When work resumed, she complained to the boss that the artist had left without finishing the job, forcing her to help fix the problem.

There were also instances where, because the boss thought another employee was performing well, the female supervisor would be absent without leave for no reason. She only came back and said, “Either he goes or I go,” after the boss became furious and threatened to promote that employee to replace her. (Incidentally, that employee eventually resigned as well.)

All I can say is, it’s quite something for a company with only a handful of people to be this dysfunctional...
