A family-owned business—those who know, know. Real authority is not determined by the system, but by whom you are closer to.

Senior management has a very domineering style and considerable authority over whether employees stay or leave. If they feel that someone “has not contributed,” they may demand that person leave, while the actual reasons and standards are not transparent.

The company is business-oriented, but everyone can see which employees supervisors take care of and who receives the resources.

Internal political infighting is very serious. When departments encounter problems, the first priority is often not to solve them. A great deal of time is spent dealing with interpersonal relationships and assigning responsibility—instead of solving the problem, people first try to prove that “it’s not my problem.”

When problems are reported to senior management, they are often not resolved; instead, they are pushed downward, ultimately leaving frontline employees to swallow the consequences themselves.

Salaries are completely uncompetitive compared with those of competitors. They offer candidates less than their current salary, yet keep asking, “Why not consider joining us?”

An overtime culture genuinely exists. Those who want to leave work on time and maintain work-life balance should think twice.

The SOP is effectively a dead letter; actual implementation is often another matter. If certain supervisors raise an issue, they may be able to bypass the original process directly, making the system prone to varying depending on the person involved.
