Basically, no one manages you, because even the supervisors don't do much. The workplace is conveniently located—just a short walk from the MRT station.

The company has owed employees several months of wages and keeps dragging it out. Operations are essentially in a state of spending more than they earn. I strongly advise against working here, because you can't even get enough to cover basic living expenses, and employees have to repeatedly follow up before receiving a response. You'd be better off staying unemployed while looking for a better job opportunity.

1. Convenient location, right by Guting MRT Station, next to UFO Radio, with a great view. Though who knows how long it will last.

1. The boss is actually very stingy, but loves to pretend to be generous. The company wears the skin of a startup but is actually extremely traditional. He can't withstand challenges or accept any opinions that differ from his own, and is extremely subjective. If you're an independently minded person who thinks for yourself and can distinguish right from wrong, I suggest you keep looking. As soon as you disagree with him once, his next KPI is to get rid of you.

The boss is also quite superstitious, so if you don't believe in strange and supernatural things, please PASS on this one.

2. The director needs no further explanation. As the person second only to the boss and above everyone else in the company, she frequently dresses in ways that make people very uncomfortable when visiting clients. I don't know whether she strategically thinks that dressing revealingly will please clients, but as a subordinate in the same industry, it is very nerve-racking. Her leadership skills are even more astonishing. She has to call a meeting for everything, but often hasn't done the necessary preparation beforehand. As a result, meetings that should be for discussing conclusions turn into sessions where we first have to accompany the princess while she reviews the materials. A meeting that could finish within an hour gets dragged on for two or three hours or more, and may still have no conclusion. External meetings are the same: she doesn't prepare, likes pointless background recaps and random additions to draw attention to herself, and repeats what her subordinates did as if that means she did it. She doesn't do what she should, grabs what she shouldn't, and is so lacking in accountability that she often sends and then retracts even a single LINE message, retracts it and sends it again, then retracts it again—hesitant and incoherent. Still, I suggest not fighting with her, because the boss loves her.

3. As time goes by, working here can easily leave you emotionally and physically exhausted. The work itself is highly challenging, and you have to deal with many things that were not properly handled before (also known as messes). Later, you'll discover that you also have to devote a great deal of energy to appeasing and accommodating the director and the boss. While some of your time is wasted negotiating with those two, you also have to apologize to clients on their behalf and deal with all kinds of situations that require bowing and scraping. Gradually, you stop understanding who you're working so hard for and why.

4. Simply put, the boss is a king in new clothes who only wants to hear what he wants to hear; the director often dreams that she's great when she actually isn't, has no responsibility or accountability, and uses her limited abilities to engage in palace intrigues against subordinates. A major reason for the high employee turnover is that this director actually can't do anything, but is afraid of being exposed. So, when the time comes, she habitually makes subordinates take the blame. In any case, once someone leaves and a newcomer arrives, she can blame her own inaction on staff turnover and claim that she needs time to train the new hire.

It's always because the new hires are bad and disobedient, leaving her exhausted and pitiful.

According to statistics, during her tenure she has probably replaced nearly an entire company platoon's worth of people, yet the boss has never once wondered whether, when one person is incompatible with forty or fifty people, that one person might be the problem.

Clearly, it's true love.

But that true love will never be you—the person reading this and considering whether to join the company.

1. Flexible working hours

2. An excellent promotion pathway and system

3. The supervisor provides hands-on guidance, leads by example, and never shirks responsibility

4. The director has very strong operational and management capabilities. She was previously a senior executive in the telecommunications industry, keeps her word, and has a strong sense of responsibility. Under her leadership, the company’s performance has risen steadily year after year. Every employee is well cared for, and she is the best supervisor I have encountered in my career so far

5. The boss takes excellent care of employees, distributes bonuses every quarter, and gives employees a high degree of freedom to complete their work. They have strong insight into people and situations and show great future potential

There are no drawbacks

1. Flexible working hours

2. Taking leave is very easy (the entire company can practically be deserted and it’s still fine)

The only adjustment your company needs to make is to replace the director with someone who is genuinely capable of taking on the director’s position.

1. The director is incapable of managing multiple departments:

She can only focus on business development with vendors in her area of expertise and bring in contacts. However, regarding member-side operational strategy, it is not that she has no ideas; rather, she casually placates the boss with member engagement plans, while she herself has no understanding whatsoever of how to manage members or of the relevant strategies.

Moreover, even the annual performance of the business development department—which is within her own scope of responsibility—has been declining year after year. She is fundamentally incapable of managing the product department either, and can only say that the product is poor, that there is a lack of manpower, and that more people need to be hired.

The failure to push the product forward is supposedly the boss’s problem. They have argued about it many times, but nothing has changed; she only knows how to shift the blame onto the boss.

2. The director has dreams and ideas, but projects cannot be implemented:

Projects or progress often disappear after the initial kickoff, which is related to her project management abilities. A director does not necessarily have to do everything personally, but should know how to make use of people or assign and delegate tasks. Yet she often disappears without a trace at this stage. As a result, the boss often thinks that the people below her do not know how to work or execute tasks, not realizing that everyone simply has no idea what the director’s project arrangements are.

3. The director seems unaware of the scope of her responsibilities:

As the director of the business development department, the most significant indicators are performance and management. However, the data shows only year-on-year declines, and it is impossible to see what operational strategy or direction for development the company’s boss intends to pursue under the current circumstances. The boss only thinks the problem lies with the execution-level staff under the director or with former employees.

It seems it has never occurred to them that employee turnover and poor performance could be someone’s problem.

1. Can leave and arrive at work on time, and the company location is convenient

2. A relatively free and open working environment

3. Ten days of annual leave from the moment you join (deducted proportionally upon resignation)

4. Easy to take leave; usually, as long as you have a reason, your supervisor will not object

5. A snack cabinet every month (but the budget is only $2,000)

6. If you are not afraid of handling troublesome matters and want to coast toward retirement, you can come here, because even if you do not do any work, as long as you are good at flattering people and have some personality, you can survive :)

The senior management really are all the same.

1. Meetings are really long.... They last at least two hours each time. There is basically no point in the middle, and they may even schedule another meeting to continue the discussion. It is an incredible waste of time, and the entire meeting has no focus. Even an interview can last three hours; the director is always one of the people present at the beginning of the interview.

2. Senior managers love taking the work they recklessly agreed to do and dumping it on the people below them. They also keep pushing their own clients off onto others, every single time! The person handling execution and the innocent colleagues who get blamed have no idea what they promised the client. After making the promise, they come back and say, “Let’s work on this together!” But in reality, they do nothing and dump everything on you, telling you to finish it quickly. After it is over, they tell internal employees and external parties how much they helped and how hard they worked.

3. If you want to be a mid-level manager here, a few people are serious workers whom senior management favors and wants to train, but some people can become managers as long as they are good at flattering and currying favor 😀 As a manager of the business development team, one person does nothing every day, scrolls on their phone or reads during work and meetings, and does not understand any of the processes. They have not produced any results since joining, only order their colleagues around, and after being here for a while, still do not even know the basic existing processes. New colleagues are left to find answers on their own and then get scolded. The processes and SOPs that a manager should understand are even dumped on colleagues in other departments to handle. Absolutely shameless and invincible. After this was brought up, senior management could still defend them every time. Why? Because you can survive here by currying favor and sucking up; people who work seriously are the fools.

4. The boss is extremely sensitive whenever money is mentioned and is very calculating with employees. Money that members are supposed to receive has been delayed for several months, leaving colleagues to be hounded by members every day. As far as I know from my position, it is not as though the company has generated no revenue at all. I have no idea where the money has gone—perhaps it was invested in another company ^^

5. The boss said that every colleague would have an established bonus system, but several months have passed without any explanation. Colleagues have to keep chasing them to ask when the meeting will be held, and nobody knows whether they will actually receive any money afterward. Even colleagues whose bonuses have already been clearly discussed do not receive the money on time; they have to message their supervisor and plead with senior management before they get paid 😀

6. Neither the boss nor the managers like taking responsibility. When something happens, they just keep delaying and refuse to make decisions. They are incredibly slow!! Their thought processes are truly different from everyone else’s. They can go around and around on one point, only for the conclusion to be the same one the colleague gave at the beginning == In the meantime, nearly an hour or more of meeting time has been wasted. Client decisions with deadlines are often delayed and cannot be answered because of this, exhausting the person in charge and leaving them to be hounded by the client.

7. They really like creating information gaps; they tell each person something different about the same matter. They say A over there and B over here.

8. When it comes to colleagues who cause problems or create trouble for the company, senior management seems inexplicably reluctant to let them go. It can take a long time for them to realize that the person is causing trouble for others. Then the colleagues who take over the mess have to clean it up and take responsibility. They always say they were very dedicated, even though they clearly were not the ones doing the work.

9. The turnover rate is extremely high～～ The things people say in exit interviews are almost always the same: problems with senior management/the company, and so on. There are suggestions, but they are simply heard and forgotten; nothing ever changes! One departing employee is replaced by another, generation after generation ^^

10. The director insists on joining every client group, but it is completely useless. When something goes wrong, they only say that they are in so many groups that they did not see the message, then privately message employees and tell them to step forward. Then do not join in the first place??? They clearly have control issues but still try to pretend otherwise. They only hide behind employees: the employee gets scolded first, and then they claim to step forward to apologize and talk about how hard they worked ==

There have been too many incidents; I will add more if I think of any.

I sincerely advise everyone not to come here and waste your time. The only reason I stayed here was because of a group of friendly colleagues who fought alongside one another. In reality, this is simply a place where you can coast and build up seniority.... If you have the chance to get to know multiple brands and build good relationships with client contacts, improve the skills you need to improve, and then leave 😀

Taking leave is easy, the workplace is conveniently located for transportation, and there is a snack cabinet at the beginning of the month (but the budget for the entire company is only 2,000, with 25 employees in total). There are ten days of annual leave.

The boss, director, and managers all have the same personality: whenever something happens, they try to run away, with no sense of responsibility or willingness to shoulder anything. During the interview, they made it sound very appealing, calling it affiliate marketing, but in reality it is basically a pyramid scheme. The company owes money to its members, and the boss has no intention of paying. Employees are left to face pressure from the members on their own, and this situation involves more than one vendor. They said every department would receive bonuses, but in the end there were no bonuses and no year-end bonus. During the interview, three hours was merely the basic duration, but most of the time was spent listening to the director talk nonsense.

As long as you are good at flattering the director, you can become a manager. Reading at work is considered self-improvement, while a bonus system devised to put money into their own pockets is described as finding ideas for their colleagues (even though those colleagues have never received their money on time). Whenever a colleague mentions resigning, they are immediately told to work from home because management is afraid of what the colleague might say to new hires. Someone had only been at the company for a short time; the number of vendors they had developed was unclear, they had no results, and they did not know how to do anything. They had to ask colleagues about the same process more than three times, and when the other person lost their temper, they directly cursed and stormed out, but because they were good at currying favor with the director, they could become a manager.

The boss talks as slowly as a sloth, and what he says is completely illogical, endlessly going around in circles. No matter how many explanations there are, he just wants to confuse you. When he is speaking, you cannot interrupt him—you have to wait until he slowly finishes stating his fallacies before you can correct the information! No wonder he used to work in direct sales; he certainly has the gift of the gab! There are countless meetings. He says he has so many groups that he cannot see employees’ messages, so how are employees supposed to reach the boss himself? He only says that he hopes to hear employees’ opinions, but in reality he only listens, pretends to nod seriously, and then nothing changes. The company remains stagnant, while he keeps congratulating himself and living in his own world, thinking he is wonderful. Then the office was turned into a coworking space because they only wanted the rental income—after all, they had no money to pay for it!

Isn’t the director actually the boss of this company? Every morning he says he is busy in meetings, so he only shows up in the afternoon. Sending emails in the middle of the night is apparently part of his job; the key point is that he sends them to three designated people, none of whom knows what he is trying to do. He says he has so many groups that he cannot see messages (just like the boss), then secretly reads the messages you send to vendors and bombards you with private messages telling you what you should do, while stubbornly refusing to say anything in the group.

As soon as new hires arrive, they think the director is truly an angel. Only after discovering the truth do they realize that the director is very good at dumping his messes on employees. He refuses to handle the vendors he should deal with himself, insisting on saying, “We’ll do it together,” which really means, “I don’t know how to do it, so you do it while I watch—that way I can count it as having done something too!”

The company’s gifts for the three major holidays are always health supplements. There are no bonuses, no start-of-work red envelopes, and no year-end bonus. Birthday leave is something employees have to negotiate for themselves.

On activity days, you can only go to free places because the boss cannot bear to spend money. They only seek quick money and give no thought to the company’s future direction. Employee turnover is extremely high because people cannot see a future and are driven crazy by the three executives above. You can come here to hone your patience; I believe that after leaving, you will become an extremely smooth operator.

But if you value your life and do not want to waste your youth, I advise you to escape as quickly as possible and block the company immediately. Otherwise, what you receive will never be proportional to what you give.

The company is introduced in great detail during the interview, and the supervisor is the director you will report to after joining. The interview thoroughly gets to know you and lasts more than three hours, which is genuinely exhausting. You can start and finish work on time. Some colleagues are there to coast until retirement, and they have a very poor attitude when you ask them for help.

Neither the owner nor the supervisors like to take responsibility. When issues arise, they dislike making decisions and keep delaying instead of deciding. They take a long time to repay money owed to other companies, and do not pay employees’ bonuses either. The director’s schedule is packed with meetings all day, and the meetings consist of discussions that are meaningless and reach no conclusions. There is absolutely no need for every meeting to last two or three hours. They like to create information gaps, telling A, B, and C completely different things about the same matter. There are management problems, and departing employees are all invited to interviews to provide suggestions, but they make no improvements whatsoever even after hearing them.
