In the medical-device factory's quality-control department, three senior women constantly nitpick the newcomers and complain to the supervisor every day. Starting on my second day on the job, I was berated every day for a month. After that, they switched to making complaints by email. The supervisor simply believes the senior employees completely and is unwilling to interview or communicate with the newcomers. They even use probationary performance evaluations to apply pressure. There are only a handful of people in the department, yet six people left one after another within half a year, while those three senior employees all stayed. So are the newcomers really all that incompetent, or is there a problem with this department?
The company is very remote... even a taxi driver using navigation may not necessarily be able to find it.
A publicly listed company... entering a new industry... should "theoretically" have good resources.
The interviewing manager also seemed to have only been in the position for a few years... and offered low pay... Last year, for a senior engineer position requiring industry experience,
the interviewing manager was only willing to offer 30k–50k.
Now, three months later, the position has been reopened... and the salary has become 50k–70k.
Apparently no one applied... so they could only raise the pay... but compared with the work involved... the current salary can only be described as "just about right."
This clearly shows that the company and the manager who claims to have "extensive industry experience" either want to find cheap all-purpose labor... or simply have no idea what the market rate is.
