People try to win arguments by speaking louder, scolding others first, and dealing with the consequences later.
Or they stay quietly silent and claim not to know anything, waiting to watch you make a mistake. Who knows how the processes are supposed to work? Apart from the long-serving old hands, there is a constant flow of supporting players. Sharing the supporting roles only serves to highlight the importance of the old hands.
The Sales Department is even more entertaining. Newcomers need to know how to curry favor with influential people; otherwise, no one will teach you. They just toss out, “Wasn’t this covered in the training? Read it yourself.” How much can really be taught in a half-day training session that is rushed through once? Often, they themselves do not understand much of it either.
Newcomers have to learn to constantly show loyalty to the slightly overweight supervisor and curry her favor. Otherwise, she will deliberately fail to explain things clearly or respond, and may also instruct others to block you, demonstrating her authority as a supervisor.
Colleagues may also compete for the position of second-in-command and engage in indescribable behavior. Unless you are skilled at internal power struggles, I advise you to leave. Life is short—don’t get stuck in the mire!

Newly established company, good working environment
As stated above, every word is true.
The only people left at the company are shameless, thick-skinned old-timers.
The boss works with the attitude that “as long as there’s money, anyone can be found.”
The same goes for reprimanding people.
I thought the high turnover rate was only because of the recent introduction of the ERP system.
Little did I know that similar things had happened before.
When it comes to raising salaries, the boss acts as though everyone will receive a year-end bonus anyway, so why raise everyone’s salaries?
Then, when there is no work to do on Fridays, they even semi-coerce everyone into taking unpaid leave.
Yet they constantly promote the idea that everyone is working hard for the company and should have a strong sense of commitment.
If the pay is insufficient for the position, how are we supposed to get things done after hiring people who are blank slates...?
The environment is pretty good
The boss is a second-generation rich kid
High employee turnover
The boss says that as long as performance is poor,
people may be demoted at any time depending on the circumstances
Severance pay will be provided
But the company is never short-staffed
After all, with money, it can always recruit people
As a result, almost everyone internally is new
No one knows what the correct procedures are
Often, by the next day at work, some people have already disappeared again
