The company didn’t hire a graphic designer,
so the sales staff have to make the promotional materials themselves.
At this southern Taiwan company, the manager and her assistant are late every day and make subordinates clock in for them.
Work starts at 8:30, but they don’t arrive until 9:00. They do their makeup and eat breakfast until after 10:00, then start discussing what to eat for lunch and what drinks to order.
Then they dump everything on the only salesperson.
The assistant rode the manager’s scooter to pick up lunch. When she came back and found there was nowhere to park, she forced it into a spot, knocking over all the other scooters, then ran upstairs.
She even smugly said that no one had noticed. What a jerk.
One is 50 and the other is 48. Neither of these two older women is married, and they spend all day fantasizing that a tall, rich, handsome man will marry them.
They stay at the office reading romance novels, and even write the titles they want to read on a note and leave it on the desk.
Things like “The Cold-Blooded CEO’s Indulgent Love” and “Passionate Misguided Love”—it’s absolutely ridiculous.

The computers in the southern office are in terrible condition, and the supervisor does not want to have them repaired.
There are only three people in the southern office. The supervisor and her assistant are good friends.
The two of them even steal subordinates’ sales achievements and claim them as their own, then criticize the sales staff for going out without generating any results.
When confronted, they falsely accused a subordinate of damaging her motorcycle. When asked to provide evidence or report it to the police, they did neither.
A sales employee witnessed traffic accidents twice while out in the field and acted as a witness to assist the police both times.
Upon returning to the company, the supervisor yelled at the employee, “What the hell does it have to do with you?” She would even pick up the sales employee’s motorcycle keys and throw them outside.
After being reported to the labor bureau and labor inspection office, the supervisor told the company that this sales employee would file reports and therefore would later pose a threat to their personal safety.
She asked the company to fire the sales employee. The logic was completely absurd.
The boss is also very incompetent. He only wants to make money and does not want to deal with problems. In the end, he closed the southern branch under the pretext of downsizing.
Terrible company
