At the year-end party, you have to perform to please the bosses.
If you win a prize, you have to treat everyone to food.
When collecting your year-end bonus statement,
Before the pandemic, you also had to greet the bosses one by one for the New Year,
saying auspicious phrases (without repeating any) before you could get your statement and leave work.
On New Year's Eve and New Year's Day, you have to set an alarm to greet the bosses for the New Year.
If you send a text message, you still have to compete to see who is first.
If you don't send one, you'll be blacklisted.
At the spring banquet, employees have to pay to treat the bosses to a meal.
You have to give the bosses gifts on their birthdays.
Although, publicly, they will say, “No need, no need,”
privately, they keep track of who didn't give a gift.
The bosses like watching employees compete for favor and fight among themselves.
They like listening to gossip and encouraging people to report on one another.
What makes working here exhausting isn't the work itself—it's the emotional toll.
You have to take care of many of the bosses' personal errands:
buying boxed lunches, making coffee, stewing nourishing dishes, and even taking care of the altar.
The year-end bonus depends on the bosses' mood,
but even when the bosses are in a good mood, they still won't give much.
Going to work? Think about it.
Pleasantly the bosses takes up 80% of the job; the actual work itself takes up 20%.
Working overtime every day, thinking the salary would be high.
As mentioned above, the overtime pay is so low it makes you want to cry—it’s a complete waste of time. The company’s employees all seem to love working overtime. The company computers are terrible and have no external network access, so we can only connect to the internal network, which is extremely unstable: it disconnects every day, and sometimes we mysteriously cannot connect at all. This seriously affects work progress, and sometimes it may be impossible to work for an entire day. The computers also frequently crash. The vice president always acts superior, waiting for people to curry favor with her. Also, the department has to pay to treat the boss to a company New Year’s banquet. During holidays and on birthdays, we have to remember to give gifts and celebrate as well. There hasn’t been a single year when we actually got to enjoy the year-end banquet, because we are always busy preparing performances to please vendors, hoping they will contribute more so that we can receive red envelopes. We are also required to dress very formally in evening wear for the banquet, but once we arrive, we have to prepare our makeup (which makes us look neither human nor ghostly) and then change into costumes. Before the banquet, we have to work overtime every day to rehearse the performances. The company’s systems and job responsibilities are extremely complicated. The tasks we normally do are often unrelated to our positions, and regardless of which department we are in, we may be called upon at any time to help with other work.
The company often organizes all kinds of pointless competitions (such as drawing), and, just like in junior high school, has a grading system with categories such as “honorable mention.”
We are not allowed to eat or use our phones during working hours, but we often see the boss’s daughter walking around while eating food.

I waited over half an hour for the interview and didn’t know what the interviewer was busy with. The entire interview process took four hours...
After I completed the practical computer test, the supervisor actually took one look and left? They asked me to schedule another time?
The interviewer said that even after work, everyone wouldn’t go home right away and would stay behind to help out~ The graphic designers at this company have it really tough...
