None

Looking back on that period, I truly feel that my initial enthusiasm was ironic. For the sake of those rigid performance targets, I was still replying to messages in the middle of the night and even personally delivering goods to customers’ homes. During the campaign transition period, the pressure was so intense that I even dreamed about work while sleeping; if I had an idea in the middle of the night, I would wake up with a start and rush to prepare a POP proposal. We on the front line fought for this place as if it were our own business, but what support did the company give us? There were countless issues at the company, yet we could never find anyone responsible for handling them, and every department just passed the buck. Customer service was like an invisible person and never coordinated with us, leaving customers to vent all their anger at the front line. Every day, we had to clean up after decision-making mistakes while doing everything possible to placate customer complaints. Not to mention the frequent product stockouts—we were not even given the most basic ammunition, yet they still expected soldiers to charge into battle? After we finally used our blood, sweat, and tears to restore the brand image, which had been severely damaged by policy mistakes, performance declined, and senior management simply dumped all the blame back on the front line. They even completely reshuffled the existing management team and parachuted in a senior executive with no practical ability who only knew how to curry favor with superiors. As a result, this executive, simply because she wanted to seize power, tried to replace most of the staff with obedient little rabbits recruited by herself.

What is truly intolerable is having to chase up bonus payments and additional overtime pay every few days, and then calculate each item ourselves to check whether it is correct. When will it ever end? And I was not the only one whose payment was withheld. I really do not know whether this was a problem with the personal ability of the HR manager, who had supposedly worked at your company for several years, or whether it was because your maternal-and-infant brand company was in financial trouble.

After going around in circles, we ended up back at the overtime hours that this bizarre HR employee had calculated incorrectly the first time. I simply cannot understand why, after I checked and recalculated them with her, I had to waste whose time and effort in the process. I calculated the amount and gave it to you—I even did your job for you. As the HR manager, are you really acting like an HR manager?

An endless cycle of reading messages without replying; whenever they could not win an argument, they would just mark the message as read and ignore it. I have truly never encountered such an absurd and ridiculous company!

What was even more disheartening was that, because so many employees had resigned and there were severe staffing gaps, they secretly plotted behind the scenes: “Let her stay here and hold things together for now; once we have hired enough people, we’ll kick her out.” They treated other people’s contributions like disposable chopsticks—using them as cannon fodder when convenient, then scheming against them once they were no longer needed. Their behavior was so ugly that it was laughable. Because of those words, I finally made up my mind to let go of all the effort I had invested and leave this absurd place!
