No need to clock in or out when coming to or leaving work

Leaving early doesn’t really matter either

1. The boss is very obnoxious and childish.

2. Labor and health insurance enrollment is delayed for a long time (I was only enrolled one month after starting work, and only after I discovered that I hadn’t been registered and told the boss’s wife).

3. I can’t understand the language my coworkers speak at all.

4. The graphic design and customer service staff are extremely rude and think very highly of themselves.

5. My salary has never been paid on time, and I only receive the payslip when I ask for it.

The name on 104 is Qile, not this name.

The company benefits listed on 104 are probably all real.

The benefits on 104 are only generally true—they are all empty promises. What is written on the surface sounds lofty and proper, but when it really comes time to provide them, they do so reluctantly, as if you have committed a sin.

The company is still developing, and everyone is being groomed for management.

The position may differ from the direction of the person who previously held it; you establish the process yourself.

There’s no need to worry if you have no relevant experience—if you’re usually notified, you’ll get hired (they’re very short-staffed).

Suitable for people who enjoy taking on the unknown.

There are many topics of conversation in the office.

You have to bring your own laptop (which can also be considered a drawback).

They initially offer everyone the prospect of becoming a manager, but in reality, no one has decision-making authority.

Even with few employees, cliques can still form, with people acting one way in front of you and another behind your back.

There’s no need to worry about being hired without relevant experience, but no one will teach you, and new-hire training has no fixed SOP.

There are many topics of conversation in the office, but they are usually very superficial and vulgar (for example, going to host clubs or fantasizing about male celebrities).

You have to bring your own laptop.

The company laptop has nothing installed, and even paying to have software installed will usually attract strange looks.

“Staff turnover” is extremely high; everyone needs to look out for themselves.

One work account is still shared by multiple people.

The standard for working from home depends on the boss’s and the accountant’s moods.

Labor and health insurance are provided, but other statutory leave entitlements are treated as benefits here; requesting them may very likely result in becoming a topic of discussion afterward.

In plain language, you’re expected to have perfect attendance all year because there’s no one else.

A perfect place to observe the silo effect: the two bosses don’t even agree with each other.

1. The company is still developing, so everyone who joins is considered a management trainee.

2. There are few employees, and if you get along well with the team, you won't have to deal with the most difficult kind of people.

3. There is a possibility of having a position that has never existed before—you could be the pioneering founder of that role.

4. Don't worry if you have no relevant experience; if you're willing to try, you have an opportunity.

5. There is no shortage of colleagues willing to work hard together.

6. Suitable for people who don't like unchanging work content.

7. Almost no topic is off-limits.

8. Bring your own laptop, so there is no equipment-adaptation period and no need to worry about the company's equipment being too outdated.

9. Environmentally friendly and paperless.

1. Perhaps due to the pandemic, there is a serious gap in personnel; apart from the two bosses, no one joined before June 2023.

2. One work account is shared by multiple people, making problems difficult to remedy when they occur.

3. Everything is cloud-based; a single click can destroy at least a day's worth of your efforts.

4. Labor and health insurance are provided; as for everything else... you might be the first person to apply for that type of leave.

5. You need to have a healthy body capable of maintaining perfect attendance all year round.

6. Ideally, women who menstruate should not experience menstrual pain.

7. You need a very high EQ to deal with the uncensored topics you will hear even though you were not involved in them.

8. No overtime pay and no calculation of overtime hours (though this may apply only to certain positions).

9. Have you ever heard of the silo effect?

- The team is very small, so decisions are made quickly

- As a startup, there is still a lot of flexibility

- The team is young

- Significant potential for development

It is understandable that the pandemic created difficulties and that survival was necessary, but speaking strictly about the issues:

- The male boss is very impatient. Anything he considers important must be dealt with immediately, and he is extremely disrespectful to people.

- Salaries are often not paid on time. When reminded, the male boss may inexplicably lose his temper.

- I was often inexplicably asked by the male boss to help with tasks. He most commonly used the phrase “because I trust you.” In addition to receiving no compensation, when I later refused to continue helping, he would issue orders saying that I could not refuse. He is extremely willful.

- The male boss is easily provoked and has a very bad temper. Without understanding what the other person means, he will say emotionally manipulative things such as, “I got this far without you anyway,” or “So-and-so did a much better job.”

- The male boss has a very thick skin and cannot tell how others feel about him. He only thinks about himself, and can say something offensive to others and then act as if nothing happened.

- The male boss treats people imperiously and does not humbly ask for guidance. He only says, “I don’t know how,” and then hands the task over to someone else.

- The bosses often disagree and get into conflicts. Neither side will yield; they only want to express their own opinions rather than solve the underlying problem. Their handling of matters is extremely immature and unprofessional.

In summary, is it really that difficult to respect one another and one’s work partners?

1. Flexible working hours

2. Flexible start and finish times; you set your own lunch break

3. You can leave on time, and there is no culture of overtime

4. Good relationships among colleagues

5. Few employees, so decisions are made quickly

1. No overtime pay (officially, they say you can apply for it, but the boss will negotiate compensatory leave with employees)

2. No HR system whatsoever. You have to keep track of your own salary, leave, and compensatory leave; if you do not keep records, you are the one who loses out

3. It is a position of responsibility, so even on holidays, late at night, or during annual leave, the boss will constantly message and tag employees (basically, everyone is expected to take their laptop with them when they go on vacation)

4. No bonuses for the three major holidays, only gifts for those holidays (provided when the boss's wife happens to remember). Year-end bonuses are paid only if there are profits, but no one has received one so far

5. Salaries are paid on schedule most of the time. Occasionally, the boss's wife forgets; salary statements are provided only when she happens to remember, otherwise employees have to ask for them

6. The boss and his wife often have differing opinions and argue in front of employees. Everything has to be approved by both of them, so things are frequently changed over and over

7. You are required to use your own laptop for work

8. You will be required to join a bunch of LINE groups (definitely more than 20)

9. The boss is childish and slick-talking. He makes jokes about employees' bodies, is very good at making grand promises, and often asks employees to “help out” with tasks without compensation. He frequently goes back on what he has said, then pretends not to know what you are talking about and says he never said it (be sure to record anything related to employee rights as evidence)

10. The company has no comprehensive systems or policies; even when it does introduce something, it loses interest after three minutes. Overall, it feels like playing house

11. After joining, you will have to download a bunch of work-related tool apps
