A group of “senior employees” who have stayed until their legs go numb are running the company.

Their thinking is stuck in the last century, yet they still claim to be at the forefront of the industry.

Compared with the real tech industry, the benefits here can only be considered average,

but internally, they live in a parallel universe where “our benefits are amazing.”

The only real advantage is probably this—being able to leave here after work.

Promotion system: The manager eats something sweet today = you get promoted; the manager drinks bitter tea today = you get fired.

Emotional management: It feels like playing an “emotional escape game” all day.

Institutional philosophy: Ask the manager, “What are the company’s policies?” and the answer is: “I am the policy.” So corporate culture = personal taste.

Reason for leaving: “You’re not a good fit here.”

Time logic: One minute late → take one hour of leave.

Professional theater: Non-experts instruct professionals, know nothing about the work, and have no desire to learn, yet use “I’m the manager” as a universal get-out-of-jail-free card.

Performance reviews: No need to look at ability—just nodding along can earn you an A+; speaking the truth gets you an automatic F. Performance is measured by KPI (Kiss People’s Insides).

Bonus features:

There’s a time clock to punch in and out. When I told a friend, they thought I worked in a factory making parts.

The company calls itself a “tech company” externally, but internally it’s still living in the 1980s manufacturing industry.

OKR/KPI = the boss checking a box, employees surrendering their souls, and everyone paying an IQ tax.

Employee education and training? Doesn’t exist. The only training is “learning to keep your mouth shut.”

Every month we have to write a book report. Anyone who didn’t know better would think I was attending cram school and turning in essays.
