Self-cultivation

At the beginning of this job, my supervisor was friendly and polite, making me think that as long as I worked hard, my efforts would be recognized. I did take this job seriously and was willing to streamline the processes and take responsibility for my work.

But as time went on, the attitude began to change. The original recognition gradually turned into criticism; the original communication turned into deliberate obstruction. The things you said and did would be erased bit by bit, and in the end, you would be portrayed as completely worthless.

The company looked polished and impressive on the surface, but behind the scenes it treated employees as an unpaid labor force to be taken for granted. Unpaid overtime was the norm, and holiday support was regarded as an obligation. Even when overtime pay was requested, it was directly refused, as if doing extra work were simply expected.

The bigger problem was the system. The warehouse was an open space that many people could freely enter and leave, and the movement of items was not fully recorded, yet a single employee was expected to bear responsibility for all the consequences. Whenever a problem arose, the system was not reviewed and the procedures were not corrected. Instead, the employee would repeatedly be asked: “Are you unsuitable for this job?” and “Have you thought carefully about whether you should leave?”

In the end, I was even asked to absorb the financial losses myself. When responsibility could not be clearly determined and management loopholes were obvious, all the risk was shifted onto the individual.

I chose to leave. It was not because I was incapable of doing the job, but because this kind of environment is only suitable for people who “make enough money, can afford to pay for losses, and are willing to give unconditionally” to stay.

My advice to future job seekers: Be sure to ask clearly about the company’s policies, the allocation of responsibilities, and overtime regulations during the interview. Otherwise, what you end up giving may not just be your time, but also your dignity and your money.
