There is a staff discount at the 7-Eleven downstairs, and there is a Louisa Coffee downstairs.

I spent two years in what seemed like a very impressive data department, and the stress became so overwhelming that anxiety and autoimmune disease came knocking.

The people I dealt with at work every day were:

1. Well-connected chauvinist pigs who thought highly of themselves, looked down on female colleagues, loved taking their anger out on subordinates, and loved correcting colleagues’ pronunciation in reports, completely unaware that they themselves stammered^^

2. Older employees obsessed with showing off their savings, who often said “Back in my day,” really needed encouragement from younger people, and had a serious sense of anxiety about aging⋯⋯

3. Incompetent middle-aged women who gave advice through ChatGPT all day, thinking they were very high-tech, while having nothing in their heads and stealing their colleagues’ ideas every day

4. Hens who loved office politics and enjoyed messing with people; they came from administrative backgrounds but accidentally became IT managers, acted as though they were very important all day, and stole their colleagues’ ideas every day +1

It is far away and humid, there is no flexible work schedule and no remote work, and the manager is incompetent. Fewer and fewer people are even staying in this department, and no one knows how long connections can keep it going. Working here is truly a waste of life⋯⋯

People checking Tianyancha are probably doing so before joining, right? Don’t be fooled by their sales pitch. All the capable colleagues have left. You won’t get the promotion or raise, and none of the managers have a data background, so you won’t learn anything from them either. After working there for just a few months, you may even become ill and want to leave. The turnover rate is astonishingly high. They have recently even started thinking about recruitment incentives. It’s all just smoke and mirrors—just run!‎
