No advantages

I was really set up to fail by the interviewer.

I had worked in on-site event rentals before,

but only as an assistant.

The position I applied for was video assistant engineer.

I had no prior experience with camera aperture technology,

but the interviewer told the other colleagues

that I had relevant experience,

and then held me to extremely strict standards.

They clearly said the training period would be three weeks,

but I had only handled the control room a few times.

It's inevitable that new hires make mistakes,

but

I seemed to have very little room to make up for them.

I was written off.

After three weeks,

they hired a woman.

She started with Era,

while I initially began with the complicated training at Next TV.

The difference was truly significant.

I was labeled as someone who couldn't learn.

There was hardly any time to practice,

and each senior colleague taught things differently.

There was also a generation gap.

They even blamed new hires for not asking enough questions,

asking why we didn't ask more.

But I was not good with cameras to begin with,

and I didn't really understand the terminology either.

So when I asked questions,

the veteran staff would say they couldn't understand what I was asking.

In the end, I stopped asking questions altogether.

I could only ask colleagues around my age,

but then the older generation said I didn't ask questions.

I was speechless.

In the end, I told my supervisor

that I had failed the probationary period.

I also felt that resigning was actually a relief.

The work atmosphere was extremely poor.

Although it is a major company in the television industry, the internal system is so terrible that it is impossible to describe in words.

I worked in the new media department. I joined as a fresh graduate, and during the interview, the manager said that everyone in the department would have plenty of room to contribute because the employees were all around the same age and young people would have more ideas they could put into practice.

I never expected that after joining, I would find the work extremely boring. Not only was the immediacy expected of news not achieved, but the system was also a complete mess. Some people wrote eight articles a day, while others wrote only two (?).

As someone who had just entered the industry, this gave me the mistaken impression that working in a new media department was always this easy—that you could watch shows while working and chat and fool around everywhere.

Later, a very capable director with plenty of ideas joined. I originally thought they could save this department, which was worse than a pile of mud, but because of the company’s factional problems, they were gone just like that.

Afterward, another director arrived who knew nothing except how to flatter people. The department was practically on the verge of collapse; almost everyone who joined at the same time had left, yet this department continued recruiting fresh graduates.

In summary: If you genuinely want to work, you can walk away as soon as you see this company. But if you are looking for something like retirement life, this place was made for you: little money, little work, and plenty of slacking off～～～～

Since a mid-level manager came over from new media, more than half of the editors in the department have left. The manager is an outsider with little sense, and those who can get through the interview process are all fresh university graduates. The cycle repeats over and over.

Flexible working hours with a half-hour window, no pressure—if you’re not too ambitious, you can come here to coast until retirement.

Respect is more important than work efficiency. You can be completely inefficient, but you must not quietly carry things out on your own without letting your supervisor know; he will feel “disrespected,” hold endless meetings, and set petty rules to show how ambitious and responsible he is toward the department. If you can ignore such an incompetent supervisor and are happy to collect a stable paycheck, you can give it a try.

In short, there are too many redundant employees and too little future here. New graduates are advised not to come anymore—the entire department is made up of recent graduates; there are enough of them to hold a class reunion.

Do not join this company under any circumstances, especially the new media department. The department manager does nothing but endlessly make grand promises and talk about their expectations for the department, but in reality they are completely an outsider. Overall, there is no room for development.

As long as your interview performance isn't too bad, it's basically quite easy to get in, because some positions have high turnover.

They only "verbally" inform you that there is no overtime pay and that you can only take compensatory leave. The work schedule is also filled out under HR's "guidance."

No matter how you inspect it, you can't find any labor inspection issues—wow, great.

What should you do if you haven't finished your work? Clock out, then go back to your desk and keep working to earn merit.

The pay isn't high either; this is basically a company that profits by saving on employee wages.

On top of that, many people smoke in enclosed indoor spaces, and upper management doesn't care.

A very suitable place to settle down and raise children. Working hours are flexible, as long as you make up the required hours. If you do your assigned work well, you are generally left alone. As long as you cooperate well with other production units, there should be no problems. You can work steadily until retirement.

The pay is not very high. At TV stations, once your salary is negotiated upon joining, it generally does not increase. The workload and job content are extremely outdated. Young people who stay here for a long time may feel that their ambitions have no outlet, because they only want employees who obey and follow the rules, not employees who are creative and passionate about their work. Employees here tend to stay for a very long time, and there are many people who slack off and muddle through. The work only needs to be barely acceptable; there is no need to keep up with the times. In addition, management varies between departments, but respecting senior employees is considered more important than doing your assigned work. Some supervisors may engage in harassing behavior toward you; if that happens, how you deal with it is up to you.
