There are many office rules, and some managers and colleagues in certain departments are very fond of putting on airs.
The vice president prepares lunch for everyone for the monthly meetings, which is very thoughtful.
The design department manager often comments on various departments/employees within the company during working hours, likes to edit marketing copy, and likes to share the work of the former deputy design manager who left the company. He even added her to the design department group and asked her to share the packaging from JiX company. The design manager likes to promote how useful a graphics tablet and stylus are, saying that he is training you to use a stylus/tablet and that you will thank him in the future after using it for a long time. He even does not want you to use a mouse for design, because he says the stylus/tablet is extremely useful and that after using it for a long time, you will not need a mouse at all. Designers are not allowed to present proposals in Illustrator; they can only use Photoshop, and all text effects must be retouched with a graphics tablet and stylus rather than created using the software's built-in effects.

Before conducting an interview, they replied through the 104 system, with the only sentence being a request to respond that I “accept the salary.”
Before conducting an interview, they used the salary to judge the value of the candidate’s labor, which felt terrible.
The company follows the Labor Standards Act, with a two-day weekend (Saturday and Sunday). Occasional overtime may be required.
The work atmosphere in Production Department 2, Manufacturing Section 2 at Plant 2 is very poor, and coworkers often have conflicts with one another. Verbal attacks are commonplace (including three-character insults and even longer insults), and even if you keep quiet and stay out of things, they will still smear you behind your back. You can often see them gathering together to gossip about others. Most seriously, apart from personal attacks, a senior male employee on the X-labeling machine line will attack people with mineral water bottles, cardboard boxes, etc., if he thinks you have spoken badly about him, betrayed him, or failed to follow his advice—regardless of gender. A senior female employee in X-inspection attacks people with her voice every day; you can see her losing her temper almost daily. If a machine operator makes a mistake, she can yell loudly enough for the entire manufacturing site to hear (even minor mistakes are unacceptable, and she can somehow get angry even when it is not her machine). If you work as an X-inspection staff member like her, she will have a great many opinions about your work. If things do not go her way, she will also resort to verbal attacks, constantly looking for trouble, including over matters unrelated to her. The supervisor knows about all of these issues but has no intention of dealing with them. There is clearly no plan to transfer these people to other departments, so unless you have very high emotional intelligence, it is difficult to stay there.
There are many old-timers behind the scenes. A good master will take you to heaven, but if you run into a lousy one, you can only chalk it up to bad luck. It’s not that they’re secretly holding back their tricks—they simply don’t teach you at all!
