Sometimes the boss or doctors will treat everyone to drinks, fruit, or snacks, and the group organizes group purchases.

From the moment you join, your position in the boss’s and supervisors’ hierarchy is essentially determined. There are roughly five areas here: customer service, assistants, doctors, technicians, and administration. In order of what the boss considers most important, they are doctors > technicians > supervisors > assistants > customer service > administration. This ranking also affects salary, benefits, and how much each role is valued. For example, you may expect that staying here for a certain amount of time will lead to a raise or salary adjustment, but if your role is not among the groups at the core of the boss’s priorities, or is too far removed from his scope of work, it is difficult to get a raise. Basically, as long as you do not make any major mistakes, you can get by at a middling, steady level. However, interpersonal relationships among frontline staff are somewhat complicated, with small groups and factions.

Assistants and customer service staff make up the largest groups. Where there are more people, there are more disputes, and from time to time there are minor or moderate frictions and grievances. This can result in you being stabbed in the back, being called in by a supervisor for a review, or being ostracized by coworkers. It is recommended that you keep a low profile: do not speak up or say too much when there is no need, do not act independently, and simply do your assigned work and wait for your paycheck. Also, be mindful of the doctors. Each doctor has their own particular preferences and sensitivities to take into account, and if you do not serve them well, you will have plenty of trouble.

Since management here is essentially based on personal authority, the boss often orders whatever happens to occur to him at the time, and the systems are somewhat weak. You will not know what the principles for salary increases are, and you have no basis to follow. That is why, if you want a raise, you must be in a situation where the boss can see and notice you. Only then do you have any hope of getting one. Otherwise, relying solely on your department supervisor—even if you have worked for a long time, done your job well, and performed well—will at most earn you the goodwill of someone who can keep you employed despite your mistakes. As for the chance of a raise, it is not very high.

Because it is governed by personal authority, when the boss is happy, the people around him prosper; when he is unhappy, you may also be summarily dismissed. The only difference is whether a supervisor is willing to protect you. Salary growth is also limited because your chances of receiving adjustments are slim, and you also have to see whether you can adapt to the interpersonal relationships and corporate culture here.

The company’s environment and equipment are likewise determined by how pleased the boss is. They are prioritized according to the level of the boss’s concern: things related to appearances come first because the boss cares a great deal about his image (you can see traces of our clinic through many media channels), followed by medical-related matters (with priority given to doctors, technicians, and supervisors), and only then daily operations (assistants, customer service, and administration) and the welfare and working environment of colleagues (everyone).

The differences in the ranking of what the boss supposedly values, emphasized above, are very, very, very obvious (saying it three times because it is important). Basically, you can naturally feel this after joining, so you will also know what should be said, what should not be said, and what is pointless to say.

As for relationships between coworkers, it depends on their character. You may simply be destined not to get along with certain people, or find their personalities and tempers difficult to adapt to. There is also a mutual evaluation system among coworkers. Think about it: if you have a bad relationship with certain people, how much trouble could these mutual evaluations bring you? Not to mention whether someone might deliberately set you up in your ordinary work.

Overall, it is possible to make a living here, but the prospects for a peaceful and stable working life are mediocre to poor. Salary growth is limited, the work atmosphere is unstable—sometimes good and sometimes bad—and there is also professional pressure. Customer service and assistants have exams and training. If you are looking at it from the perspective of steadily working and receiving a paycheck, honestly, it is quite troublesome. There are also often disputes when arranging days off. If you do not want to offend people, you should obediently cooperate, but if you never say anything, you will be treated as having no objections, so judge the situation for yourself.

As for administration, it has the fewest people and is not part of the main groups involved in the daily melee. Aside from situations where work requires interaction, there is almost no contact with them in ordinary circumstances. Just maintain basic politeness with them, and everyone can live in peace.

Therefore, the order of people you should prioritize not offending is: boss > doctors > technicians > supervisors > coworkers. As shown in any of the rankings I mentioned above, the groups around the boss always come first. It is like a dartboard: the center is the boss, the second layer is doctors, the third layer is technicians, the fourth layer is supervisors, and the outermost layer is frontline staff. Oh, right—because the boss is also the director and a practicing doctor, the doctors’ status is higher than that of technicians and supervisors. As for why technicians rank higher than supervisors, it is because technicians all work alongside the doctors. Naturally, when looking at the groups of roles centered around the boss, the closer they are to what the boss cares about, the higher their status and the more important they are.

If you hope to find a job that you can steadily do for several years or even until retirement, the frontline positions here actually have a fairly high turnover rate. People come and go, and there are always resignations and replacements. Some leave shortly after arriving, while others resign after working for a long time. Personally, I feel that many coworkers are mostly hanging on and earning whatever they can because jobs are difficult to find right now. Quite a few people are also considering when to resign; in any case, they will leave once they have a better source of income.

Overall, frontline employees have little to look forward to. After all, salary is what employees like us at the frontline care about most. The things the boss focuses on and the things that make him happy are not of interest to frontline employees, but you still have to cater to his pride and cooperate as required at the appropriate times. When the salary is no longer enough to bear the pressure of the work, that is the time to leave. Everyone has their own standard for how much they can accept.

If you have not joined yet, you really need to think it through carefully.
