You’re incredibly lucky to have come across this review. After reading it, I recommend searching for “吾蜂” on Salary Search for inside information on more bizarre companies. Don’t assume that changing the company name makes everything okay. Wishing everyone success in avoiding major pitfalls!

1. A male supervisor physically touches female employees and likes to stare at them; this happens routinely every day. He has pressed employees’ shoulders, touched their hands, and commented on their clothing. His conduct is highly controversial and exists in a very gray area. He also uses various explanations to get employees to take on additional work. During evaluations, he does not grant raises based on employees’ actual contributions, but instead uses personal preferences as the standard. He has said things that make people doubt themselves, such as, “Your abilities aren’t sufficient to reach that salary level,” “You’re still far behind compared with so-and-so,” and “You’re not capable in A, so you have to do B to make up for it.” He has also told employees critical statements such as, “Everyone’s rank in the company should be lowered by one level because no one’s abilities have yet reached their current rank.” The company’s senior managers are all men.

2. The HR supervisor has a close relationship with the male supervisor mentioned above, leaving employees with no safe channel through which to voice their grievances. The overall work atmosphere is extremely oppressive and makes it impossible to relax. The company places importance on a “big family” atmosphere and holds various large and small activities, courses, group presentations, and so on.

3. There is a major gap in seniority. Many employees have stayed for a long time and have families, while newcomers and younger employees generally do not stay long. The reasons are nothing more than uneven work distribution, a hierarchy between older and newer employees, and veteran employees’ fear that their share of the pie will be taken away.

4. The company suppresses salaries and places greater importance on certain departments. Other departments may be regarded as costs rather than company assets, so resource allocation may not keep up with your good ideas.

5. This is a company where you are expected to obediently keep your mouth shut while working and leave quietly after work. Whispering to colleagues or taking breaks and relaxing can easily attract attention. If you happen to sit within the range of the surveillance cameras, you may be watched.

· This is a company with relatively traditional management and culture.

· The company claims that it has clear promotion channels and salary-increase levels for employees.

· However, it has been found that work assignments lack a clear division of responsibilities, leaving room for ambiguity.

· You will constantly be required to accommodate new people, possibly changing every two or three months, while outsiders give directions to insiders and interfere with your “professional” work.

· This is a long-established food and beverage headquarters—a retirement-style company suitable for people who want to steadily collect a paycheck and cannot achieve breakthroughs on their own.

When you see this company, just pretend you didn’t. It is a company that is impressive only on the surface. The money has all gone into the interior decoration, while the company cuts costs everywhere else, sacrifices and disregards the efforts of dedicated employees, and is polite when asking you for help but pretends not to see you when it encounters you on the street after achieving its goal. It truly overturns everything you thought you knew.

Those who want to treat this as a joke, watch the drama, or are curious enough to take a look can visit the company profile on 104 to see the fake group photo. Maybe you’re good at guessing and will get it right on your first try. It’s a pity that gifts can’t be posted here; otherwise, I’d like to hold a prize quiz!

(All of the above is completely true.)
