The boss does not like people with ideas and brains.

1. CEO Mr. Chang is indeed quite self-centered! He loves giving long-winded speeches full of things that have no real substance.
2. They purchase design drafts and then claim externally that they were designed by their company.
3. Even before a long weekend, they make things feel like a military departure briefing speech.

There are animals in the office!
A certain CEO is quite self-important, as if they worship themselves like a god. No matter when, where, or what the matter is, only their ideas are right. If you do not comply with their wishes, they will say your way of thinking is incorrect.

Those who love pets may consider it.

3. One day of sick leave and one day of personal leave are allowed per month; further leave results in deductions.
4. Sometimes it is necessary to help out at or clean the temple operated by the company.
