It looks like a promising AI company that claims to be at the cutting edge of technology, but in reality it is just a masquerade hiding behind the AI label. Those features you think are automated are actually all completed manually by Indians. After the fake AI news broke, the CEO also said helplessly: “What about us?”
Li✠毓 is a typical master of shifting responsibility. In one project, when the entire team’s progress was delayed because of uncertainty around external requirements, he quickly pinned the problem on the new hires, taking advantage of his seniority. “This problem was caused by you not clarifying the requirements. There are only two days left now, and I don’t care—you have to solve it.” The project ultimately missed its delivery deadline and was harshly questioned by the client because the requirements were unclear. Completely unmoved, he blamed others for “not following up proactively,” while he himself remained unscathed. He likes to say “the hammer has fallen,” waiting to be hunted down by the client.
徐✠龍 likes to express a whole lot of opinions in meetings, making everyone think he seems to understand everything, but in reality he never puts anything into practice. When the company held a meeting to discuss introducing a new technology, he offered a large number of seemingly deep suggestions and said they should build a high-performance architecture. Yet a month passed and nothing had been done, nor had the problem been solved. Even when the issue was brought up again, he merely said lightly: “You can research this technology yourselves. I’ll go to a meeting first.” This so-called “technology upgrade” issue remained shelved.
james’s relationships with people at the company are very subtle. He is an absolute favorite in the workplace, with countless fans. He also constantly echoed his supervisor, saying, “That’s exactly what you mentioned before. I also think this direction is very good.” By currying favor, he gained the supervisor’s approval. While others were clearly working hard to solve problems and putting themselves in the line of fire, he was promoted through flattery, while contributing almost nothing to the project. All he can do is tell others to Git themselves up there and take a look, when in fact he has no access and there is nothing to see.
jack likes to impose his unreasonable demands on the team. During a product test, he proposed requirements that had to be improved immediately and added many unrealistic modification requests. When the team tried to explain that some of the changes would cause delays, he stubbornly insisted on making the changes immediately and strongly demanded that everyone work overtime. In the end, the testing schedule was delayed by several days, and problems emerged one after another upon delivery. He not only refused to admit his own mistakes, but instead blamed everyone: “Why didn’t you deal with this in advance?” He also produced his large pile of “improvement requirements” and demanded that the team follow them. Leaving behind a pile of blanks that no one could understand, the testing was pointless, no one understood anything, and they continued preparing for the next round of “destruction.”
Lynn’s role within the company is that of the representative of “yes, yes, yes.” When employees report that working hours are too long and that overtime is unpaid, HR gives its standard response through her: “Yes, yes, yes, I understand. I’ll report this to upper management.” But in reality, she never truly handles the problems; instead, she merely tries to maintain an image of being cooperative in the eyes of her superiors. Once, when an employee said more work support was needed, HR simply smiled and said: “Go up and take a look yourself. If you don’t see it, ask someone else.” When the employee helplessly said they lacked access, she dismissively replied: “Then don’t worry about it. It won’t affect anything anyway.” As a result, when things went wrong, HR quickly shifted the blame, saying: “Why didn’t you solve these problems yourself?” In the end, the employee felt completely abandoned, while HR remained unmoved and continued pretending that nothing had happened.
