The equipment is terrible. The boss only wants to save money and has no interest in improving the employees’ work environment. The salary is not paid honestly, and the insured salary is kept low. Anyone with the intention of reforming the company is constantly shot down. They have no real intention of doing anything; it’s all just talk. There is basically no future in staying at this company.
The company is generally compliant with regulations, offers flexible leave, and managers and executives are all very willing to engage in positive two-way communication with employees. Colleagues within the company get along harmoniously and simply, and are willing to help one another. When recruiting, the company places greater emphasis on work attitude and enthusiasm, so it is common for colleagues who are not yet technically proficient but have a positive mindset to join the company.
Regarding the promotion system and salary, the company is currently still unable to manage these as properly as large companies do. However, it is rumored that senior management is actively planning improvements internally.
1. Labor and health insurance are enrolled at the minimum wage level, not based on the actual salary received; pay is nominally provided as base salary plus bonuses; salary transfers are made in two installments.
2. Typhoon days off are compulsorily deducted from annual leave.
3. The promotion system is inadequate.
4. I cannot see a future here.
A company that builds websites. There are no restrictions on revisions; the website style guide is for reference only, and the client proofreading process is also merely a reference. If clients want to change something later, they only need to push a little—no matter how extensive the layout changes are, if the client says it needs to be changed, it almost always gets changed. Requirements that were not mentioned at the beginning also have to be added.
Projects are often like this: whether they are rushing to launch, rushing to exhibit, or rushing for some unknown reason, they force additional work onto employees regardless of the workload already on their plates, causing employees in various departments to frequently get stuck with delayed projects. Then the sales staff, who wear several hats, come to “check in” on the situation and demand that employees work overtime to handle it.
Taking leave is fairly flexible, and there is currently overtime pay. As others have mentioned, employees who have annual leave available are forced to use it to offset typhoon leave.
The company is super loving and basically a kindergarten training program. As long as you genuinely want to learn, you can come in even if you don’t know anything~ Deal! You have to come in with a willingness to learn, though!! (Pinky promise)
Once you’re in, just do whatever the boss says, right? No need to use your brain! What could be easier than this job!
But sometimes the boss will require you to work overtime to deal with the cases on hand!
It’s not that projects involving new cases are too busy; it’s that the clients are too demanding. The boss won’t set boundaries with the clients—the boss is the one smoothing things over for them, after all! You have to appease the boss, so of course you obediently make the revisions. Don’t overthink it: change it however they want, and then the boss will think you’re obedient.
If you do all of the above, you can occasionally get a bonus—maybe twice or four times a year. How wonderful! There are bonuses, too! Although the customized bonuses are pitifully small and not enough to support a spouse and children, it’s better than nothing. Ahhhh!!! Typhoon days off are deducted from your annual leave!~ Luckily, they don’t make us come to work! We really should be laughing with relief.
And as for salary~ and position~ just obediently do your own work, and you won’t have your pay deducted! What?! You mean a raise?? Didn’t we already make a pinky promise that you should approach this with a learning mindset? Don’t you understand?
The company benefits are pretty good!
As long as you pay one hundred dollars, you can enjoy snacks and drinks that will be gone in half a month!! The unappetizing ones are the only things left!
There’s also a birthday celebration every month!
The only bad thing is that taking time off is way too convenient~ Everyone is taking time off—so annoying~ Why doesn’t anyone want to come to work?
The company’s policies are flexible, and you could say the boss has the final say!
So as long as you have a decent relationship with the boss and go along with whatever the boss wants, workplace life can be really great!
What about the policies from last week?! Don’t understand them? Can’t figure them out? No worries! Because they might be changed next week!
Or just keep going along with whatever the boss wants! It’s still really great.
Tips for a “really great” workplace
1. Build a good relationship with the boss—this is super important << Take note
2. If the client says to change something, change it for them! Forget all the professional knowledge and advice you’ve learned!
3. The policies might be replaced tomorrow with whatever the boss happens to think of! Just muddle through today
4. Do all of the above and you might get a year-end bonus! ...just not one month’s salary
