Flexible working hours, with punctual start and finish times
The building where the company is located is modern and clean
The year-end bonus is very small
The more senior you become, the more work you are responsible for, but your salary remains unchanged
There is a difficult manager who often reports minor matters to the boss, frequently contradicts subordinates, and believes that everything subordinates do is flawed—as if no one can be as perfect as he is. He also makes many subtle moves behind the scenes that make people uncomfortable
The colleagues around me generally have little seniority; even the most senior may have only two years of experience. It is rare to see a company where the workforce is so new
Suggestions:
Don’t immediately show how capable you are, because you will only be assigned more work. Just do your assigned work adequately and in moderation; otherwise, you will end up doing several more tasks than less efficient colleagues, and you will still be expected to take responsibility when something goes wrong
If others play office politics, follow suit; if others keep things superficial, do the same. Learn to protect yourself
The company has a high turnover rate, salaries almost never increase, but the workload keeps growing.
The boss likes to make one person do the work of ten. When they see that you are highly capable, instead of giving you a raise or reward, they dump more work on you.
This includes having to sacrifice your lunch break for a long time to do company work. Even when working at the counter, mealtimes are irregular and there is no time to eat. Your health deteriorates, and it is miserable.
