New Year’s greetings bring everyone some new information for reference:

1. In a certain department, you will be bullied as soon as you join. Information is deliberately withheld from you so that you will make mistakes and do things poorly and then be scolded. When you ask questions, you are taught in an impatient tone; you are only allowed to ask once, and if you ask a second time, you will receive an extremely contemptuous response.

2. There is no room to discuss or increase your salary. You want to negotiate? Sorry, there are many people still waiting in line to join. In reality, they are so short-staffed that people of any level of experience can get in.

3. Senior colleagues can make mistakes, say inappropriate things, and bully others without any problem. But if you do the same things as senior colleagues, you can expect to be sent home to fend for yourself. Even if you have been suppressed to the point where a recording would guarantee that you win a legal complaint, you still cannot talk back; talking back means it is your fault.

4. Many colleagues do not consider how others can take over their work, leaving many tasks in complete disarray. But if you take over and the situation changes dramatically, you are required to complete part of the work for others so that they can work smoothly; otherwise, you are considered redundant (though senior colleagues can chat incessantly and push their work onto others without any problem!).

5. Will Human Resources help if you are bullied? Don’t even think about it. It would already be lucky if your supervisor did not sue you in return. If you have any related dispute, it is strongly advised not to file a complaint through internal channels; either the case will be buried or you will be framed and smeared.

6. Everything is considered a reward bestowed upon you by upper management—both thunder and rain are the emperor’s grace (but… you understand). Asking for recognition rashly will only make you seem immature, because your accomplishments are meant to serve as a stepping stone for senior colleagues.

7. The trusted insiders are all extremely unpleasant. Managers believe their careless remarks and fabricated rumors, and even if you did not say that thing or do that deed, everything will be pushed onto you—as if the manager never gave instructions or spread rumors.

8. Keeping quiet and taking on the workload of three people by yourself will make you more well-liked than trying to assert your rights (but your salary will not be adjusted to match the workload, so accept your fate).

9. You will be told to handle routine matters without any handover. Likewise, you do not need to hand them over to anyone else.

10. There is no order of priority. They like to delay tasks until the last minute before handing them to you, then say that everything is extremely urgent. If you cannot finish it, you are simply incompetent, making the entire department chaotic.

11. Colleagues will ask you about trivial matters or things they have already learned. They will not look for documentation and handle them themselves, nor will they ask anyone else. If you are busy and do not pay attention to or help them, they will go to the manager and complain. Even if you are not the only person who can handle the matter, the manager will still think it is your fault rather than that the person failed to ask someone else for help.

12. The manager cannot see how busy you are or what you have done, so it does not matter if you are actually idle—as long as you know how to put on an act.

Conclusion: The lack of information flow makes it impossible to do things properly. When things are not done properly, it will not be blamed on the team or the people who bully others; the blame will be pushed onto you personally. Otherwise, those above would not be able to keep their official positions.

Those interested can look up court judgments or systems listing violations of the Labor Standards Act. You will make some different discoveries and understand why it is so difficult to recruit people here and why turnover is so high.
