Regarding the new foreign national information security manager: he is easy to communicate with when nothing is going on, but some of his qualities are truly hard to praise:

1. Laziness: Apart from meeting times, he spends most of his time in the office watching videos and eating snacks. Even presentations that he should handle himself are mostly assigned to employees, and he barely puts in any effort.

2. Passing the buck: When facing employee problems, he always shifts the responsibility to HR. When a security incident occurs, his first reaction is to pressure the team and manage relationships with upper management, rather than personally taking the lead in solving the problem. When questioned, he becomes impatient, simply gives up, and then pressures subordinates or other departments to take responsibility.

3. Incompetence: Despite having worked in the department for more than six years, he cannot clearly describe his own department's basic processes and is even unable to complete the most basic analysis. This places an excessive burden on senior employees; in terms of knowledge, technology, and management, he relies entirely on others to handle things for him.

4. Irresponsibility: He is irresponsible when hiring employees, forcibly retaining underperforming staff. When other departments apply pressure and a performance improvement plan is needed, he hands decision-making authority to senior employees while maintaining his own image as the “good guy.”

5. Concerned with appearances: He has a victim mentality. Whenever something requires him to step forward, he presents himself to others as a victim or a nice guy. Almost everything happens only because others pressure him to come forward, and he acts as though it has nothing to do with him.

6. LH: As a foreign national manager from outside the organization, he enjoys better待遇 than the local direct supervisor. Yet he receives the most generous resources while setting the worst example: arriving late, leaving early, doing nothing, and even making insulting remarks about young employees being unmotivated.

I wondered how I could have encountered such a textbook example of a negative role model. After looking into it, I realized—well, he really is a textbook negative example.

The person who should be placed on a PIP is not the employees, but him.
