Bootlicking and sycophancy

Some of this company's internal circumstances really are like a Trojan horse—you only discover you've been deceived after joining. Looking back at the process of applying for this position, especially by revisiting the day of the interview in retrospect, you would find that the actual job responsibilities and the JD (job description) were fundamentally two different things. Tasks that were never mentioned during the interview ended up accounting for more than two-thirds of the actual work after joining. Everything was included, from the product commercialization process, Sales Kits, part-number applications, packaging, gift boxes, and website listings, all the way to channel marketing and product marketing. The most outrageous traps involved the contract and the assigned work location. An employee responsible for HR recruiting (whose English name is Lynn, whose surname is Lin, and whose middle name contains the character ✠瀅) kept urging people to sign the terms quickly, while using topics such as eating European cuisine or going upstairs to watch fireworks to divert attention. She even said there was no need to read the contract too closely and that someone at the site would naturally teach them. What she did not say was that, although the position was nominally with this company, in practice it would pass through several layers of outsourcing. Moreover, whenever anything unfavorable happened at the assigned location, she would never proactively mention it. She would instead brush it off by saying that “the work is very simple; just be obedient,” and openly admitted that she did not want to deal with whatever happened elsewhere. What would happen if something went wrong? Another administrative employee (whose English name is Stanley, whose surname is Li, and whose middle name contains the character ✠毓) often repeated the logic that everyone should shoulder the burden together, or that administration should go out first to take the blame, and, if that really did not work, a new person should be found to take the fall. This employee surnamed Li, who spends all day walking around while looking at his phone, would even joke over lunch at Sushi郎 that, if anything happened, the blame could simply be put on the newly hired person named Robin. The way business was handled internally was also astonishing. Whenever a customer complained, a member of the R&D team named James (surname Li, middle name containing the character ✠源) would advocate sending an AI-generated report first and worrying about the rest later. Another employee responsible for technical analysis, named Jack, held the same view, believing that for failure analysis, it was enough to organize a pile of AI-generated content and send it to the customer, while making the evaluation look polished. Beyond peers shifting responsibility among themselves, the conduct of upper management was even more suffocating. One manager would add tasks whenever something came to mind during meetings or while assigning work. As a result, the development schedule was compressed every single time, with meteor-strike-style requirements arriving daily. Most ironically, after everyone finally rushed to complete and submit the work, it would then sit for several months before going live. If someone could not continue and wanted to leave, that high-and-mighty manager would resort to emotional blackmail, accusing them of having “no sense of loyalty among people in the same line of work” and forcing them to take over the mess. According to what a senior employee surnamed Xu (given name containing ✠龍) revealed about the internal culture, whenever something happened here, the new hires were always the first to handle it. Over time, those in high positions reveal that they apply double standards to everything: professionally, they are “strict with others and lenient with themselves”; they put on an act toward other departments, flatter senior executives, and subject their own subordinates to all kinds of bullying and humiliation. Ultimately, this company is really being propped up by a group of employees who cannot be dismissed and possess a deeply servile mentality, while management continues to live in a pink bubble, believing that it is far-sighted and made up of unparalleled strategic talents.
