But after work.............................

1. As soon as you join, you have to sign a 3-month probationary contract. What it says is that if the company asks an employee to leave within those 3 months, it does not count as redundancy. Of course, there will be no severance pay and no involuntary separation form. The company treats it as the employee’s voluntary resignation. This is because the company uses the probationary contract signed on the first day of work as a constitution to silence employees. The company says its lawyer said this is allowed!! (Constitution + lawyer = employees are bound to lose... so exciting~)
2. The company underreports labor and health insurance wages. The company says it makes up for this with group insurance. (My sister says that’s not allowed. My sister is a legal assistant.)
3. The company has no concept of privacy. I hadn’t even been there for a week, and everyone already knew my salary.
4. If a franchisee makes a mistake, the company will always only scold the employee.
5. When interviewing new hires, the company first asks you to prepare a presentation about innovative ideas and suggestions for improvement related to the job. But, but, but—you may not necessarily get the chance to attend a second interview. So the presentation you painstakingly prepared becomes theirs~ They get it for free~ For free~
6. The company probably has 40–50 people, but it doesn’t have the management systems required by the government.
7. You think you can get off work at 1900, but before you know it, the work shift has extended to 2100.
A sincere warning:
After joining, anything you sign should be made in two copies.
If the company doesn’t give you a copy, take a photo yourself.
Colleagues are easy to get along with
I worked there for three years.
Their bonus system was constantly being revised, and in the end it became a matter of finding every possible way to deduct bonuses. For example, an invoice being voided because of a customer's issue could become one of the reasons for a deduction.
Who can prevent this...?
Last month, I found a new job and was preparing to resign at the end of January. The assistant manager asked me to help until the end of February. I replied that my new job gave me days off, so I could come back and help. Unexpectedly, after working two days in February, my shift on Lunar New Year's Eve was suddenly cut, and I was also informed that I did not need to come back. Naturally, I also lost the red envelope given out that day—the bonus that everyone receives.
When I asked the assistant manager, she said that she had already applied for and completed my resignation, and that the store manager had failed to inform her that I would continue working. The question is:
I hadn't even submitted a resignation form yet, so how could she apply for my resignation in advance?
The colleagues are easy to get along with
When asking the supervisor about salary or benefits, they never give a direct response. Part-time workers are not covered by labor insurance, and double pay is not provided on national holidays... There are too many issues to list. If you don't mind hard work, you can give it a try.
Four years ago, I worked part-time at Laoxianjue’s Zhonghe company-operated store. Even then, I noticed the turnover rate was very high—four people left within just two months.
Although the pay was slightly higher than the minimum wage at the time, the work was extremely busy and the requirements were strict.
Once, when I strained my back before work and couldn’t walk, the deputy manager of the company-operated store still asked whether I could help wash dishes that evening.
Even after I said I was willing to be scheduled as needed, they simply ignored me and did nothing, so I had to call every day to request leave.
Not to mention that I had seen full-time employees without labor insurance internally; when they cut their hands, they had to pay for medical treatment themselves. It was also common for management trainees to work unpaid overtime without clocking in.
In short, although I don’t know whether things have improved over the years, this company’s directly operated stores were truly awful.
I advise young applicants not to waste their time.
