An optional monthly company dinner.
The boss and managers are all self-important and constantly go back on their word. Every day, you have to watch the managers flatter those above them—work comes second, and currying favor comes first. The boss also thoroughly enjoys being flattered.
The boss has an extremely strong need for control and to be the center of attention. During lunch, you are not allowed to sit at your own desk; you must go to the dining table and sit in your assigned seat. If the boss is there, you have to listen to the boss give a speech; if the boss is absent, you have to listen to a manager give a speech. If you chat with colleagues, you will be criticized for being “too lively.” The boss’s stated view of the workplace atmosphere is that it must be serious and professional.
The managers will ostracize people and spread malicious gossip. If they dislike someone, they will definitely find a way to destroy them.
The boss does not like employees taking annual leave. If you request it, you will be asked why and be given dirty looks, and your manager will also be criticized. The boss says employees will be paid for their annual leave, but as far as I know, no one has ever received that money.
Veteran employees will do everything they can to slack off, and the boss protects them. The low-ranking assistants are merely lackeys whose job is to follow the managers around, but whenever something goes wrong, the manager will definitely throw you under the bus.
Everything above is true, with no exaggeration whatsoever. If you are considering working for this company, please think very carefully.
